Running and knees

Any time people tell you that you should stop running because it'll make your knees worse (and people WILL tell you any time you complain of knee pain that it must be all that running and that you should stop), read these. I keep copies of them in my bag. Just kidding.

My husband

We don't get to run together as much as we used to given that one of us has to watch the boy-and-soon-boys, but hands down, he's my favourite running partner. It's like going for one of our nice strolls in the summer, with the laughs (which make it a little more challenging to run but that's okay), great conversation, mental stimulation exchanges, just moving faster.
