Workout
A Personal Running Milestone
- Marines Running (via Randy Son of Robert)
Every week, we highlight one of the great minds and bodies in our Social Workout community. This week's "Featured Body," the fabulous prairieportia. Look for her workouts on the homepage all week.
One of my goals with regards to running has been to be able to go for a real run with my fiance, who is a United States Marine, without killing myself and without his having to slow down so much that he doesn't feel like he gets a workout. The Marine is, of course, in ridiculously good shape, and he is one of my biggest fitness inspirations, both in his commitment to it, and because I want to be able to go on harder and longer hikes together.
Yesterday we ran a fast (for me) and slow (for him) but reasonable for both of us five miles in some pretty hot sun and including one pretty long, gradual hill.
It's a fitness and a relationship milestone!

That sounds wonderful! (And what a nice guy to slow down a bit for you... in my experience, some guys are jerks about it.)
