in good company
finally!!!
i got to run with my running partner. it is amazing how quickly 3 miles can go when there is conversation, laughter, and motivation..... it was wonderful. i think we are both in pretty good shape.... and even discussed a potential race.
it was so nice to catch up with her semester, family, work, training, etc.
the best part was realizing that when we met our old friend the hill, it was done easily and without hitting the pause button on our chat. it took so much less effort than my encounter with the hill the day before.
amazing how a little bit of company can make something difficult seem less torturous. i assume that is the metaphor for struggle in life, or life in general. when we live our lives with other people, the load is less burdensome. but it is hard to get past the idea that we have to manage it all by ourselves. i am a prideful creation who does not like to ask for help, yet i physically feel the benefit of running with a partner. i may not get there as quickly, but the recover is far less painful and the route more delightful. if only i could as easily translate that more directly to my personal life, parenting, marriage, etc.
it was just nice to have company again.
