4 Feet Running
She's Nik: a marathon runner who's working on her fifth 26.2-miler. He's Dan: a beginning runner who finished the C25K program and is working toward a 10K. Every week, they record themselves on a short run somewhere in New England (mostly), talk about their training, play some music, and have a few laughs.
This is 4 Feet Running, Episode 10!  This week:

 - It's 12 Feet Running as Nik and Dan take dogs Stanley and Myrna for a 25-minute jog

 - Dan breaks his all-time running record at 27 minutes despite running by a bunch of schoolkids

 - The dogs' various habits, tricks, and PRs are discussed

 - Nik has a great running week, except for the pain in her foot, a full bladder and bloody hand

 - Dan suddenly begins to stink pretty bad

 - The animals get rubbed with ice

 - Nik also runs 17 miles across state lines and talks about eating "mystery meats" as a child at Chinese restaurants

 - They read feedback and talk about the social sacrifices you make for being a runner
