Moonspun Spins

I’ve talked many times about RP and his running abilities. He’ll be the first one to tell you that he runs 50 and 100 mile races because he lacks the common sense to stop after 25.

 As a result of his 20+ years of running, his 40+ marathons, hundreds of local races and dozen of ultra runs, my husband has an incredibly efficient body. It knows just when to sweat to cool itself down, in running and any other ah, activities that require some physicality (:-))

  And yea, he’s very, very skinny. Now I do think, he’s probably still be skinny without the running, given his family and how he is built.  Although without the regular exercise, he might have a flab or two here and there. Now, though, he’s all muscle and bone. He chills easily in water because he has pretty much no body fat and therefore no insulation. It’s amazing to me something that he is as comfortable to cuddle with as he is, but on that vein….he develops some softness. So I can’t complain.

 Below is a picture of my husband from the back. This was taken at the birthday party on Saturday and RP was involved in a rousing game of volleyball with mostly adults. What I love about pictures is how singular they are and how they show only the context of the lens. You can’t tell in the picture that there are 30 other people around, some swimming, some drinking and eating, some ready to catch the ball that RP is about to  launch into the air. You can only see all the action, the muscles engaged in his legs and his back as he moves. You can see that it’s blurry from the action and my limited picture taking abilities

 It’s very rare that  RP does anything without his shirt on…so I felt I had to take advantage and snap a picture….

  Yes, he’s that skinny….
