Do you have a best running friend? You’ll know when you find one.

Best Running Friends
Run your pace, from spicy to dragging ass;
Isn’t afraid of a mid-workout sob-fest, or laugh break;

Will accompany you trying new running things, even if the distance or race really isn’t up her alley;
Will accompany you trying new running things, even if the distance or race really isn’t up her alley;
I love you, Sally! Here’s hoping 2020 is better for our BRF-dom.
