My Wife

In Bob Dylan's recent book "Chronicles, Vol. 1", he never referred to his numerous spouses by their name but used the generic term "My Wife". So if it is good enough for him I too can use such a narrative device in this blog. My only difference from the Bard is I have only had the one wife so no need to wonder which I'm referring to.

We first became a couple in Dec 1976 and she has played a major direct part in my running history especially in the beginning of "The Golden Age (1980 - 1995)".

We trained and ran together for our first three marathons. Of her 4 marathons her best was 3:49 at Gold Coast 1985.
