A love letter

Dear Running,

Today is Valentine’s Day!  It seems like the perfect day to spend some time together.  We’ve been involved for a long time, first as friends when I was young and doing short runs with my dad.  Then we flirted our way through high school, college, and grad school.  Sometimes we were close, sometimes we went months without seeing each other.  But about 11 years ago, you saved me from postpartum depression.  You’ve been a major part of my life every since.  Our relationship has been rocky for a few days, but I’m really hoping we can bring back the closeness.  So, I planned a special time for us.

I put on a special outfit:

I made us a special drink to share:

We took it slowly.  Really, really slowly.  And paused to share a special moment.

But we were having fun, so we kept going.

In the end, it was everything I could have hoped for.  Same time, same place, tomorrow?

Love, MCM Mama
