For this month’s blog symposium Trail Runner Magazine asked:
Is it easier to date a fellow runner or a non-runner?
Being a runner with a full time job has its challenges. Add
on top of that kids and a wife who is also a runner, and you have yourself a
whole new ballgame. I honestly cannot talk about my time as a runner before all
these add-ons, as up until few years ago, I really wasn’t a runner at all.
Sure, I had bouts of sporadic gym streaks, and I did run an occasional 5k here
and there, but I was not dedicated. Hence, I did not have scheduling problems
at all. For Amy and I
getting into running happened at a somewhat similar time. We both started
training for similar races and doing similar distances. Just go back and check
our blogs for more if you want to know all about those.
At the same time when we started to run together, we had one and then few years
later another kid. It would have been easy for us to bump down our distances,
or to take some time off from running, or really pick a different hobby, but we
thought otherwise. Instead, we upped our distances and our training. We learned
all about compromise, scheduling and how to keep everyone happy most of the
time.
