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 a very special Christmas episode of 4 Feet Running, episode 23! This week:

 - Nice: Nik and Dan and their dogs go for a 3-mile slog down the slushy median of Commonwealth Avenue in Boston

 - Naughty: Dan doesn't do so well at it

 - Nice: Nik discusses her plans to do not one but possibly three marathons in 2008

 - Nice: She also is planning to run various and sundry other races and do an icy New Year's Day ocean plunge

 - Naughty: Speaking of things that are cold, Dan is super-grumpy because of bladder issues, traffic, and a startling lack of holiday cheer

 - Very naughty: He restores it by trying to peek at his Christmas presents

 - Very nice: They read some e-mails and mention some fans' blogs
