it is strange that i wound up with a man who doesn't really "workout". after a history of dating rowers, runners, etc.

the part that is so maddening, is that when we go on a hike or something, he really kicks my ass. i can't keep up with him! even walking across the parking lot to go to the grocery store, i can hardly keep up. he is a bonafide mountain man, so when we go on a hike i lagg and he is king of the forest. lol. so it is more appropriate to say he is very "athletic" but not into tri (although i did buy him a road bike in attempts to "make him" like it or attempt it. he said it hurts too much to sit on the saddle, which i understand...it does hurt!).

i think it's great to have someone to "do things with", but it's just as important to "be with" someone...there is a difference.

also, my husband's job is very physical--he climbs smoke stacks, and ladders, etc. i just want him to be healthy, that is all that matters to me.

also, in dating someone of the same sport, i found that without the sport there wasn't much there. it got old after time.

my husband, regardless of sport, is a great supporter and friend. he is a big fuzzy bear and i love him dearly, i would never be as happy as i am without him. i wouldn't change a thing in our marriage (except maybe having him fart less). :)
