It's difficult to combine running and a young family (I have 2 boys 3 and 7 years) and only recently have been able to prioritise running a little more and a littl longer. <br /><br />My wife is also not a runner and it's important for us that we each let the other have some time for their own activities. We know that the other person is happier and nicer to have around when they've been able to get some own-time. And the occasions that my family do show up at a finish line or cheer me on during a race are that much more special.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13170526335138246609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370694228518207700.post-76459395888432825402013-08-19T17:06:46.519+01:002013-08-19T17:06:46.519+01:00Great blog Jen - at least you don't have argum...Great blog Jen - at least you don't have arguments over who got to run more in a certain week with the enduring suspicion (mutual) that the other half is trying to sneak in miles around small person duties :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487723091975575132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370694228518207700.post-5877013368283248162013-08-19T13:24:35.094+01:002013-08-19T13:24:35.094+01:00Great post Jen.

If it's any consolation, my wife feels the same as you - although less inclined to trek half way across the country with the kids and sit around for a day while I traipse over the fells.<br /><br />Also, as a former Long Jumper, I always felt 200m was always too far for me for a long time. But I think I started displaying the same sense of masochism and self abuse that drove me to ultrarunning when I found I was regularly doing 400m Hurdles as well.TrailDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562052769380788427noreply@blogger.com
