Valentines date idea: Steak night? ❌ Run a full marathon ✅
Finally finished our first full one and I couldn't be more proud of my wife for pushing through despite recovering from flu and battling severe cramps midway through.
Honestly, I wanted to give up so many times during the race but I saw how determined you were to finally get this big win so I just sucked it up and tried to be as positive as I could. I knew how hard you trained for this and there was no way in hell I would let that go to waste. You deserve this!!!
I might keep complaining but I will forever be your running buddy.
Happy valentines day!
