I especially love the portability -- I traveled for work a lot for a long time, and I loved getting to run in exotic places while just packing my running shoes/clothes and my GPS (a necessity if you're like me and get lost in unfamiliar places).

I follow along at your blog but am a very bad commenter, so sorry about that.<br /><br />OK, answers to your questions:<br /><br />1. Running with a friend works great.

For all the reasons you mention above<br /><br />What I want to know is: <br /><br />How does it work running with a friend? Can you chat while you run?
