Dropped DH at the Starting Line

I got up before 5 am this morning and dropped DH and the starting line of the San Antonio Rock & Roll Marathon.  He's running the half today.  I'm very proud of him!

If the weight keeps falling off and my knees hold up, maybe I'll join him next year.  Or maybe I'll make him get a hotel room downtown so I don't have to be awake at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning.  Life is full of tough choices.

I say BOTH...then when you get a room make sure it has a hot tub bath tub to "relax" those tired muscles... I'm sure DH won't mind at all the extra expense...lol 

Good luck to him today and I can lay down money that you'll be there with him next year. Whoo hoo!!!

I like the idea of Both.  We'll see if my knees improve as the weight goes down.  Either way we enjoy a pleasant get away and don't have to fight the traffic.

DH finished the race in 2 hours 25 minutes.  Not bad for a 54 year old who didn't run more than 6 miles in the months before the race.  This race is the weekend after his birthday.  It is an "I've still got it" activity for him.  It was a good, but early, morning.
