We never have to guess what the other person is doing. We train, do races together, go to race committee meetings [the couple works with the group that stages the Turkey Trot]. |
We talked probably on a biweekly basis for quite a while, so he could see how my training was going. My second marathon was in the fall of 2001, using Tom's [training] program. We were seeing each other at Checkers' [running club] practices. It went on for a good number of years, and we were just friends. |
