Yesterday, my glamorous friend Emily came over to march up and down hills with me. This was a good workout, but it didn’t start labor, just FYI.

Em is training for her first triathlon, so it was fun to talk with her about her workouts, her progress, and the spandex outfit she’ll be wearing on the big day.

We also talked about our future fitness goals. I said I wanted to run a couple of marathons in the next couple of years, beginning with Twin Cities in ’09 and then turn to longer-distance tris. Em is sticking with triathlon, which is good since I’ll be able to leech some biking know-how off of her.

Of course, these plans are dependent on me birthing a child and then losing 35 pounds ASAP.
