Happy "Married-to-a-Runner Appreciation Day"!! http://rwdaily.runnersworld.com/2010/10/national-married-to-a-runner-appreciation-day.html
Maybe not official, but a good idea to show appreciation to those who support us runners and not roll their eyes too much at the dumb things we sometimes do.
To Jenny, my (Wife of almost 15 yrs.), thanks for hanging out at my many races and putting up with life dictated by my training. Chasing me at marathons on shuttle buses, driving through big city Louisville to meet me at different locations, considering waking up at 6AM on a race morning as sleeping in, considering waking up at 5AM race morning as normal, vacations that must include a marathon or other race (hope you enjoy the Tar Heel 10 for our anniversary!), fixing your awesome spaghetti the night before ALL races (even while camping or at a hotel), getting eaten by mosquitoes at the track, putting up with the kids whining at the track, your concern of telling me to be careful as I head out the door, asking when I will be back like you want me to return, not laughing when I go on a banana run, and the list goes on and on. So, thank-you for supporting me!
Deep down, I think you enjoy it. Especially when you are waiting at the finish line talking to another runner's spouse lamenting that they are waiting for their husband to finish and you get to look up and tell them "here comes mine now" with a big smirk! ;) I LOVE YOU!!!
