MALLORY Ham is an extreme sports kind of guy. The 46-year-old meteorologist from Simi Valley, California, lives to climb rocks and ice, compete in triathlons and ride mountain bikes at night. His wife does not. For the first half of their 19-year marriage, Kelli Ham, 44, dutifully – even heroically – accompanied her husband on many of his adventures. “I was miserable. I was always at the back of the pack, or at the base of some mountain waiting all day for Mallory and the others to come back. I felt I was either slowing him down or struggling to keep up. It was never fun.”
