running....
i miss it.
it is cold outside and sometimes all i think is that is would be great weather for a run.
i had lunch today with my running partner - which is such a lame term since she was my boss first, then a friend, then my running partner..... but as i learned many miles shared can make your running partner one of your nearest and dearest friends.
there is a story in this month's runner's world titled "someone to run with."
while it doesn't necessarily apply to stef because it talks about partners that have come and gone, it did make me think of her... i know that one day i will have someone that is my new stef and she will have a new me because our lives won't always intersect.... even while they do intersect she has endured two seasons of gestation.... and yet one day we will get out there again.
best quote: "any friendship that is based on running is, in essence, about accrual -- of time, of miles, of intimacy built over a lot of small steps forward. it sneaks up on you that way, i think."
what a great way to put it.
it is not that we just share miles or that we just share our lives.... it is that we have shared our lives over the miles which for some reason adds to the connection. we miss each other and we miss running but mostly we miss running together.
the hot chocolate 15K run is december 19th, 2009.... put it on the calendar.
