When Date Night becomes Race Night...

Every Wednesday is Date night.  When you live busy lives and have a million things to do, sometimes couples have to pencil each other in to make sure there's still time for a little romance.  So since Tuesdays and Thursdays are Time Trial nights, Wednesdays seemed like a good night to eat sushi together, go see a movie or even just stay in together.  However, since all this crazy Comrades training has taken over our lives, Wednesday nights have been set aside for a different kind of date.  Often, there are night races that happen on Wednesday nights and so this is becoming our date night.  Last night was the first of many such date nights, where we drove all the way to Krugersdorp squashed into a car with six people to run a very hilly 15km race...which of course we didn't even run together.  After which we stopped for a very romantic burger and chips at the local Krugersdorp Road House before making our way back home, sweaty and too exhausted to even speak.  Very romantic! Next Wednesday...a 15km night race in Kempton Park for another special date.  So how do you know when you're a runner?...when even date night becomes race night!
