In today's podcast I speak to Eve, Melissa, Lawton, Colleen and Cheryl who are or have been my running partners over the years. Eve and I reflect on what it was like to run in New York City in the 1990s. Then I talk to Melissa and Lawton who were my running partners also in New York City in the early aughts. We remember what it was like to run on 9/11 because we didn't know what else to do! And what it was like to go to another big city to race a marathon just a month after the attack. Thanks to my conversations with Colleen and Cheryl (my current running partners) we discuss what it has been like to continue running during a Pandemic here in Nova Scotia. The one thing that has remained most consistent with me over the 23 years of running partners isn't who I am running with or where I am running but that I am running. Running partners are better than "just" friends because you usually get to see them more often and there is just something about what is said on the run stays on the run. I encourage you to find a running partner if you want to take your running to the next level or just to find motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
