HE SAID.........
I must send out a thank you to my wife for the encouragement she gave me the other night to make sure I got my training run in before I went to sleep. Tuesday night a little after 9 PM and after I just finished putting down my 10 month old baby girl for the night, (which included a little snooze while I was rocking her) I wanted to head to bed for the night. My wife on the other hand strongly encouraged me not to go to sleep. I put up a little resistance and mumbled a few things about being tired--but after a few minutes I got up and got in a great 2 1/2 run on the treadmill before going to sleep for the night. I felt great after the run!
I am very appreciative for my wife's support and encouragement! With out her push I would have most certainly missed the work out that I did not need to miss. That was being a good teammate! Thank you Susan!
About Me
- John and Susan Combs
- We have been married for almost 7 years and have two beautiful daughters, Mary Anne, four years old and our newest addition, Sarah Gray, 12 months. John is a teacher and head boys basketball coach at Ridge View High School. He loves his job and can't imagine doing anything else. I am a full time stay at home mom. I began staying home when our oldest daughter was two years old. Previously, I was a speech-language pathologist. I loved my 'old' job, but adore my 'job' at home. Everyday brings something new. It never gets boring! We have recently decided to start running and are currently training together with my friend, Michelle Jowers, to run the Rock 'n' Roll Chicago Half Marathon on August 2, 2009. Michelle's 15 month old daughter, Kayla Reese was very recently diagnosed with Tetra X, a rare chromosome abnormality. We plan to use our running to raise money to start a foundation in Kayla Reese's name to fund more research and support others and their families who have received the same diagnosis.
