We were out for "family support" at the Jay Dix 10K. My wife bundled up and tackled the race while Braeden & I provided support. She did great! She is gearing up for the 2008 Hospital Hill (HH) Half-Marathon. This will be Marian's 2nd year to be a pacer for this race. Since having Braeden and finishing up her Ph.D. in Clinic Health Psychology, she has little time to train for running & multisport events. Just "two training runs a week plus quality x-training" I told her. "That will give you all you need." Like other females, my wife tends to see increased injury rates with added volume and I believe this is primarily due to the size of her Q angle. But not to be discouraged. It is only a limiter for females who are training with too much volume without constant monitoring of their overall training load. Last year Marian was more than ready for HH, & she will be again this year. Ask me more about the "Q angle" if you are interested.
