Since I am not really training for anything right now and am even in between tennis seasons - I have fallen into a supporting role in Jen's marathon training. Matt thinks I am a little crazy for volunteering to get up before 6am to run before work. That is just part of the job.
Other roles include:
- light, fun conversation during the first 40-50% of the run (conversation optional after that)
- keeping a strong 9:30-10:00 pace (and sprinting to beat Jen at the end :))
- never cancelling on the morning of the run, no matter how much I want to
- constant encouragement during the week
I only ask for a little shout out when Jen crosses the finish line. (The call-outs in the blog are great too!!)
Keep it up, girlies!!

Nancy, you have always been the best Running Buddy! I still can't believe you ran the Atlanta half with me when you didn't do any training, and just decided to do it at Jen's BBQ the night before! You're such a trooper! Thank you for having so much energy to pull all of us through!
