I can't even begin to tell you how much I LOVE outside running.
Ryan runs everyday. He runs in the basement on the treadmill in the winter. But pretty much once the weather is above 40 degrees and for many many months he runs outside. With the kids. In the double jogger. For at least an hour and a half.
This is something he has done since Miles was a baby. We also have 2 jogging strollers. And Ryan is pure fashion statement when he runs.
Ryan is a barefoot runner. I don't know why. It is supposedly the best most natural way to run. I say it's the best way to get blisters, and glass. Also gangrene. But..he does it. But not outside. He wears.....Aquasocks when he runs outside. He wears, shorts (not spandex thank god), some sort of long sleeve shirt, socks, and Aquasocks. My Bff has seen this ensemble. And laughed her ass off. It IS hysterical, but Ryan doesn't care. It suits him just fine.
He takes the kids on a 7-10 mile run depending on the weather and how they are doing. He gives them water bottles and snacks. He lets them get out and run through the nature preserve with him if they want to. That only really lasts for about 15 minutes, but they do it. And then on his "cool down" he stops at a park for the kids to play at. Now this addition of the park began last year when the kids got bigger and Ryan needed more of a break. This also can sometimes add 45 minutes of quiet bliss to my day on top of the already hour run.
Today is the first outside run of 2009. I wonder how it will go. I bet with how much the kids have grown over the fall and winter, Ryan will be at the park a good hour, hour and a half. EEEEE Hee hee hee hee hee.
I love outside runs!!!!!!
*edit to today's post*
The kids came running up to the house today after the run. Ryan was down the street talking to our neighbor. And what the hell did I see? Bare fucking feet. Yeah. That's right. He IS that guy. Hello gangrene. Here we come.
