Dear Running: Reconnecting

Hey Running,

I think it's time we spent some time reconnecting.  I have felt extremely distant from you the past few months and I'm pretty sure it's because our relationship works best only in the most ideal of conditions.  Hanging out with you in SCREAMING wind and the blowing snow is not my idea of a good time.  Today isn't bad though.  I think I may be able to squeeze you in today.  I have booked us a weekend away in August...just you and me, Running.  We will be going HERE for a race.  I'm looking into a few more but haven't made any final decisions as of yet.

Hey, remember when we used to hang out together for HOURS and HOURS, Running?  I think we may need to build into that again.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get used to all the things about you I used to hate all over again.  Don't take it personally, but you're kind of boring somtimes and spending time with you can be downright painful occasionally.  We may have to ease back into this.  I'm just sayin'.

There is something I DO miss about you running - hanging out with you alwas made me look good.  It's probably my vanity talking but I feel like the more we hang out the better I look...and FEEL.  You were always good for me, I guess.

Well, I feel like we should give this another shot, Running.  I have a friend who will be joining us today, let's see how this goes....
