Mile 1
Me: "This is amazing! I can't believe we're doing this."
Her: "I know. Should we just try to jog the whole thing and see what happens?"
Me: "Sure!"

Mile 4
Me: "This neighborhood is so cute. I've never been through this area."
Her: "Yeah...look at that house. I love the decorative grass."

Mile 5
Her: "I can see blue lights ahead...that must be the turnaround."
Me: "Yeah."

Mile 7 (hundreds of runners passing us in the other direction)
Me: "So, I guess that wasn't the turnaround."
Her: "It must be at the top of this giant hill."

Mile 9
Onlooker: "Keep it up...you're looking great!"
Her: "Thanks."
Me: Grunt.

Mile 12
Her: "We can do this. One more mile."
Me: "I am saying yes to a healthy, strong, body...Oh God, it hurts!"

Mile 13
Me: "I don't mean to sound dramatic, but I really don't think I can make it."
Her: "Yes you can. There's the finish line. We're almost there."
Me: "Everything hurts from my bellybutton down."
Her: (laughing) "We're almost there."
Me: "We're almost there."
Her: "Have I said thank you for doing this with me?"
Me: "Yes, you have. I'm proud of us."
Her: "I'm proud of us too."
