And this time it's Mrs Aussie... :)

So, while the kids rode along on their bikes, the Mrs got started on Week 1, Run 1... It was awesome to be out with the family and great fun to be back doing week 1, run 1 again, this time with my wife. It's hard to believe it was a little less than 6 months ago that I started it...

The Mrs was chuffed to bits to have done 8 minutes of running and is excited for Run 2...

I must admit I did a 10 minute tempo run at the end of it as I was warmed up but going nice and slowly with the family today was awesome.... just an amazing thing to share...

Happy running folks!

How lovely Aussie. I'd love to do that but sadly both daughters and AncientDad much taller, faster and fitter than me (although AncientDad recovering from knee surgery at the mo) Maybe one day.

..... A girl can dream :) Big welcome to MrsAussie. Bet she's gonna be fast :)
