Cudos to your wife. Ps. Don't piss her off, with guns like that she just might kick your butt.

with guns, legs, abs, and other assets (pardon the pun), I would let her wear the pants in the house for sure.
that there be one fit and very nice looking wife, you done good, looks like a keeper.
I doubt many of us could run a mile anymore, let alone a marathon.

Good for her.  Especially running through a war zone. |

At least you're athletic as well. Those 12 oz. curls can get petty brutal!  Congrats to your wife, her dedication is apparent. |

She works out while you drink the protein shakes. Sounds like a good deal!

I whole heartedly agree. No doubt, you have excellent taste in the female of the species. Can't speak for your better half's judgement..........  I considered competing in a half marathon but being an honor graduate of Procrastinator's University International, I'm considering putting off the decision until I've I decide to get into some kind of shape. Apparently, round is not the prescribed shape of most athletes competing in such events. |

Congrats! Completing a marathon is quite the accomplishment---at ANY age. You both have every right to be proud!

you know if you keep drinking those 'protein' shakes, your tummy is going to get bigger than those biceps she has. Not many 50 year olds (like most of us anyways) would even consider running a marathon, let alone just a plain old jog for very long.
Like said, sounds like u done good, a keeper for sure.
