OK, so in my first post, I mentioned Caroline. Caroline is a 24-year-old actress and student. She is not a runner. By that I mean, she doesn’t currently run for fun, for fitness, or for any other reason except for possibly to catch her dog when she escapes. (Bara is an impish little Shiba Inu with a penchant for chasing skunks.)

Caroline has decided (with, perhaps, a shade of arm-twisting—you didn’t hear it here) to run the Nike+ Human Race at the end of the summer. Out of a total running vacuum, her goal is to run the 10km race in less than one hour. In the coming weeks, we’ll be checking in with this lovely young lady via videos and photos, to see her training ups and downs, and ultimately, to learn if she will succeed her in her goal. Without further ado, permit me to introduce her… ladies and gentlemen, I give you Caroline.
