If you follow me on Twitter or DailyMile you probably already know that I have a new running buddy, but if you don’t follow me there . . . Guess what? I have a new running buddy!!!
Aren't we cute? A little fuzzy but definitely cute! 
Stacey and I met about 3.5 years ago when we started using the same daycare provider. (As a side note, my son and her daughter met each other when they were 6 months old and have been good buddies ever since. We hope they stay that way for life!)
Aren't our kids too cute? Friends for life!
In that 3.5 years Stacey and I have developed a close friendship and recently she asked if I would help her become a runner! If you are a runner, you realize how big of a compliment that is!
We went out for our first run together a little over 2 weeks ago with the intention of trying to run / walk 1 mile and we ended up going 2.5 miles!!! That is very impressive for her first run! Most recently we completed a 3 mile run / walk! We have even decided that we are going to enter a 5k race together, we just need to figure out which one! (It might be this one, but nothing is official yet.)
I am not sure if I have been helping or teaching Stacey much about running, but I know that we are both having a great time! And let’s be honest, that is the most important part of running or any other fitness endeavor, it should be fun! We spend our runs talking, laughing and just enjoying each other’s company. Each run that we do together goes by so quickly, not because we are running at a fast pace, but because we are having a blast together!
Do you have a running / fitness buddy? I want to hear how awesome your work-out buddy is!
Awww, you ARE a rockstar! That is a huge compliment to be asked for help and I’m not surprised at all she asked you! Your kids are cuuute!
Awww shucks! Thanks, they are pretty darn cute! Just don’t let them know … they will use it to their advantage. Lol
[...] not do the running portion of the workout (Exercise #1) as I had a 3 mile run planned later with my running buddy. However, I did all of the 15 other exercises! Yes, you read that right, 15 exercises. I [...]
