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.
Welcome to 4 Feet Running's 15th episode! This week:

- Nik and Dan decide it's a good idea to take the dogs for a 2-mile run in the pouring, freezing rain at night

- They decide that this actually isn't that good an idea

- Dan reveals his running plans post-5K, then steps in several puddles

- Nik worries about whether their Philadelphia hotel will be able to supply oatmeal before her marathon

- Some people yell "Woo hoo" at them

- Nik and Dan at last uncover the answer to the most compelling mystery of our age: "Who's walking who, eh?"

- They talk about weight loss and read feedback from some nice people
