Running challenge
Last year around this time I was getting ready for my first triathlon. I was in the best shape ever running, swimming, and biking nearly 5 days a week. My friend Ali trained with me which made getting to the gym every day a LOT easier than it is now. Last fall, Ali moved to DC and left me without a gym partner. Honestly, these days I'm lucky to get to the gym one day a week and try to get in exercise at the house or while walking/running with the dogs. I don't see another triathlon in my near future but I would like to get back in shape and would like to aim toward running often while in Australia. I pulled the trigger and just bought some new running shoes (not a cheap purchase) and am ready to start up again. With the days getting longer its easier to add in a run at the end of a long day rather as well. To fuel my jump start I've asked Ali to train with me from afar so that we can (hopefully) motivate each other to get running every week. I've made a goal schedule and will be posting our progress over the next weeks.

Want to get earbuds for our phones so we can jibber jabber away like old times as we run? Or-- as the case may be-- so that I can huff puff in your ear like a creeper as you jibber jabber away and I try desperately not to die?
