I will be doing a marathon next year, probably the SL Marathon. I'm back on my diet to get rid of this excess weight so I'm not putting as much pressure on my leg.

My IT band doesn't feel as bad as I thought it would after the Relay, so I'm doing some light running to keep my endurance and weights to strengthen my leg.

I love working out.
good for you and your wife. I am still planning on doing a 1/2 marathon this fall, but am scared I am going to die.

Does your wife not enjoy running? or does she just wimp out like me?

Running is definitely not for everyone. She might enjoy doing something like triathlons that require a lot less running, but still get you out there and getting into shape.
