Stroppy knickers

Ooooooo.... who's a big pair of stroppy knickers?
I really wasn't in the best of moods last night when Graeme announced his ambitious plans for his "running future"... the few glasses of wine seemed to fuel the fire even more too. This morning I got up and told him I wanted to say exactly what I thought about it all and then that would be the end of it and I wouldn't say anything after that unless it is from a supportive point of view.

So, I explained that I thought it was a shame he didn't pick his own goals... after all when I had toyed with the idea of trying to run lots of marathons each year to always keep fit, he was there with me wanting to do it... he has decided to do ultras which I have always wanted to do, and I told him that I believed if I had a sudden rush of shit to the brain and decided I wanted to run 100 park runs (at 5K distance) within 2 years then he would want to do it too. He scrunched his face up and said he would NEVER want to do that... I reminded him he had said that about ultras. I told him that I think he will do one of two things... a). He will not do enough training because he will find it too boring, or b). Although being bored to death he would do the training despite me... a sort of, well she thinks I won't do it so I will prove her wrong.
Knowing my darling husband the way I do, I reckon he will do the latter of the two. He asked was I trying to put him off and I honestly am not. I just had to tell him how I honestly felt about it all and now I have said it, I feel much better. He can now enter whatever he wants, when he wants and run for however long he wants, and I will say nowt unless it is a positive comment!
My objective now is to get fit again. My plan so far is to run/walk Amsterdam marathon as a training run and get a small PB to boot. I'm looking forward to all of the training and all of the pain, because that's just the way I am. And I wonder what ultra I shall be entering... whatever it is I plan to do a bloody good job of it! And I'll even be a good supporter for Graemes' ultra debut in July. :-)
