Glad to hear you're doing so well sticking to your routine! As a runner, it can be hard to stay motivated and willing to stick to your schedule especially in winter weather conditions such as these.
I'm glad you have a running buddy because, honestly, it's so much easier to continue working towards a goal when you have others alongside you giving you support.
Good luck reaching those 50 runs!
