It's not a painless plan, but she has the same idea

The next morning was ****. You thought back to your old gym teacher who was always full of stupid sayings. "The first day of working out is tough. The worst day is the second." You now realize that one wasn't so stupid after all.

Still, you were on a mission to keep trying, and so you rolled off the bed, full of soreness. You wince with each flex, but you make it out the door. Day 2's stretches felt very necessary compared to yesterday, as the pain creaked and then sweetly released as you held each pose. The fact that you finished yesterday without cooldown stretching was a big mistake, and you’ve learned your lesson.

Because you were so caught up in legitimate stretching, you only notice Kaylee when you hear her footsteps near.

“Good morning,” she called to you, and you replied. This time she gets about thirty more feet before she turns back and approaches you again.

“Hey, since you’re new at this, why don’t I be your running buddy? You know, we could keep each other motivated to stick to our schedule. If that’s not too presumptive of me!” She really does get nervous easily for someone with such a dirty mind. You think this is fantastic, but of course you need to play it off cool as well. Just be natural.
