Running partner

For the first time in my (short) running career, I have a running buddy! One of my coworkers (who is also a good friend) is doing the Portland Fit training program too. We do our weekly runs together after work and hit the long Saturday run as a team! 

Not only does having a partner make it more fun, I'm getting a better workout. She pushes me when I'm trying to slack, and hopefully someday I'll get to return the favor! :) Also, now I'm accountable to someone else, not just my checking account (part of my motivation for staying with Portland Fit comes from the fact that I paid for it!). 

Having a support system is essential to achieving health goals. This support system should be varied and have as many helpful people as possible. I feel very confident about achieving my goals because of the support I have...my running partner being one of those awesome people!
