Featuring: Rail Trail Chicks
l to r - Jen, Jill, Carrie, Kim, Stacy & Jess |
I talk about these fine ladies enough, so I thought I would feature them so my readers can get to know my girls a little better. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be out there on those freezing mornings taking on the long runs.
First up is Jess. If you’ve been following for a while, you know that Jess and I trained for and ran the Maine Marathon together. She has two adorable kids and a runner husband as well. Actually, Joe, runs with Ward and my brother-in-law, Wade.

What a great idea! I don't know where I would be without my running partners! I might borrow this idea for a blog post sometime if that's ok?
ReplyDeleteI love this post! What a great idea to feature each of your training buddies! I asked my husband (my training partner) if he would consider writing a guest post and after reading this I definitely want him to!
ReplyDeleteJamie - that would be fantastic! I'd love to read about the husband training partner's point of view. Hmmm....now maybe I need my hubby to write a post!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Amy - please do!!!! Training partners are incredible. I wish I could run with them more than 1x a week!
