Veronica Jackson and Alex Bernardi are among the 500+ women who will be running the U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon this weekend in Atlanta, GA. They\'re longtime training partners, and on this episode, they talk about the power of running friendships, and the effects your best running friends can have on your goals. Today, Alex and Veronica live in separate cities \\u2014 Veronica in Boston where she\'s an attorney at the Partners Healthcare Hospital System, and Alex in New York City, where she\'s a research associate at a nonprofit \\u2014 but we got together in person to record this episode (after they finished their 20-miler, of course).
