Support of Friends

In the past when friends have come to the East Coast for their summer vacations, I’d normally meet them for dinner and drinks. This summer has been completely different, everyone visiting has asked me to go running instead. It’s been an amazing experience to run with Val, Alistair, Kathleen and now Krista. I’m so fortunate to have support of friends that live both close and far away… it has been critical in my success.

This morning I went for a run with one of my closest and dearest friends, Krista. We have been friends since we were 6 years old… nothing has ever come between us… not even men! We have been part of each other’s lives for pretty much everything but what’s surprising… until today we’ve never exercised together! Now that is only because I was lazy, Krista’s always been very active and worked out… I just never wanted to join her! We had such a great time together, it’s unfortunate that we live thousands of miles apart because we’d make great running partners (I can’t wait for her to move home)!

If you want to support your friends in their fitness regime, don’t invite them out to eat… instead suggest you join them for one of their worksouts. There is nothing that says I love you more than a friend that is willing to get up at 7am (on their vacation) to exercise with you!
