Monday Morning With the Hubby


I have to dedicate this post to my husband of 11 months and 3 days, Michael. I know he's not a morning person, and I am to the nth degree. Nevertheless, he wakes up early to run with me twice a week, and when I say early, I mean 5:45AM! And he doesn't complain and actually motivates me more. He always encourages me to go faster and leave him in the dust, which I have to admit is not physically possible anymore.

Yesterday I did 4 miles. It was a perfect morning. I was sore from all of the dancing I did Saturday night, but I felt great overall. I slept like a log on Sunday night. We were both exhausted, but Michael went the first mile with me and did so well.

Then he waited at home all day (was only supposed to be until noon) for the fridge repairman to come and tell us there was nothing wrong with our fridge. It's apparently supposed to collect water on the shelves, because it's hot out. And did he complain once? Nope. He had to use a personal day for this, and I made him get up early on a day he could have slept in. And all of this was after he was such a good brother and best man this weekend. Look for his stellar speech on Youtube shortly.

So thank you, Michael, for being a great confidante, a wonderful support to my training, and my best friend. It's been a joy being your wife for the past 11 months and 3 days.
