Run, BJ, RUN!

I know I don't blog about my wonderful husband very much - no reason in particular... the kids are pretty much the most interesting thing either of us has going on!!! ;-) And since he's totally involved (Thank the Lord), he gets his 'face time' on the blog when I'm posting about those two little guys!!!!

BUUUUT..... BJ has decided that now is the time to run a marathon.  Yes.  26.3 miles.  On foot.  Running.  Ridiculous, crazy, insane, dumb..... all words that come to mind! And of course, he chose to train at the coldest time of the year!?!?!?  HOWEVER - it is something he wants to do, so I am 100% on board and supportive!!!!  I told him that he didn't have to pay to run in the actual race though - I'll be happy to get a stopwatch, the Suburban and the kids hanging out the back and lead him around for 26.3 miles (I figured I would 'lead' so that he couldn't get run over and he could jump in the back at any point :-).  We can throw water at to him, protein packs, etc.... and I am POSITIVE it would be much more entertaining.  He didn't like that idea... he is already registered for the Atlanta Marathon!!!  I was hoping for the Orlando Marathon...... WHATEVER!!!!!!!

Anyway.... yesterday (before all the snow hit), he ran his longest training distance yet - 14 miles.  And if I were one to brag - he did it at a pace of 8.5 min/mile.  Impressive.  For anyone that knows BJ, he is a researcher... so he researched everything known to man about long-distance running, etc... including how to do ice baths to help alleviate sore muscles.  To me - no research needed: cold water + a couple bags of ice = ICE BATH!!!!  That's pretty much what BJ found out too! Hahaha!!!!  So we set him up when he got home from his run.....

I even added bath salts...

I really wish I had the sound effects along with these pictures (face only - no worries)!!!!!

And that was just his toe!!!!

Easing in.......

WHY would someone do this to themselves ON PURPOSE!?!?

Well, regardless.... he has my full support!  I will happily draw baths and take pictures!!!! HAHAHEEHEEHOHO!!!!!! (That was my best attempt at an 'evil' laugh!!!!!)

So, as I mentioned earlier - it snowed - A LOT (for GA - which is 6 inches and counting!)...... so....... we will be 'back to our regularly scheduled blogging' with the next post....... but I promise to update the marathon training progress as well - the entertaining parts anyway!!!!! ;-)
