Katja wasn't entirely sure how she had been roped into doing extra runs with Vasili. While most of her teammates would have been thrilled by the extra exercise and training, Katja had never really been a model athlete. She wanted to win as much as anyone, and she dutifully followed the training schedule that Vasili had laid out for her. She could even sometimes be convinced to do extra strength training since despite all of her talk about how she was an amazing beater for her size, she was well aware that she was weaker than Roald. But running was something else entirely; she didn't particularly enjoy running for its own sake, and she never really understand why Quidditch players needed to run long distances when no running was involved in the sport. But somehow Vasili had convinced her to run with him, and while it had yet to become a habit, they had already run together a handful of times. And she had to admit, she didn't completely loathe it. He was good company, and she liked spending time with him, even if running wasn't exactly on the top of her list of enjoyable things to do.
They had been running for awhile now though, and she could feel her body beginning to protest. While she had trained over break, of course, but not as intensely as they did when they were at school, and she could feel the difference that a few days off had made. However, she did her best to not let it show- she didn't want to anger her manager- and she kept up without complaint. Still though, it seemed like an appropriate time as any for a rest. "I think it's time for a break, yeah?" she suggested, glancing over at him without slowing her pace. They were far enough away from the castle and the lake that they could stop and catch up for a minute without having to worry about being bothered. At least running gave her a good excuse to explore the grounds, she noted idly to herself.
