this sounds kind of decieving but split you workout into 1/3 and 2/3's. spend the one third of the time with her- maybe you guys could do weight lifting or something or just deal with the running till she gets better. use the other 2/3's to exersize by yourself and don't tell her. good luck!

hey! thanks for the idea, i just might do that, but i also want her 2 get in shape 2, and she will only workout with me, maybe i should suggest we meet 3 times a week or something for weight training and that we run on our own, something like that! thanks a bunch

When i was training for the Air Force Scholarship I had a friend that would walk with me. so what she would do is put a stick or something down say "go" and then keep walking. She would name out a tree ahead of her, and then i would have to run to the tree and then back to the stick to pick it up and run back to her so we could start it all over again. If it sounds confusing. it was. I felt like a little puupy fetching a stick. and since it was so stupid looking my friend didn't mind it cause she loves laughing at me (in a good way don't worry) So maybe try that. make a game out of it. also take Anne's advice. She's pretty good.
