dear running

dear running,
lately, i haven't been a very good partner.  i haven't made time for you the way that i used to.  it isn't that you aren't a priority; it has just been too easy for me to use other things - work especially - as an excuse for not getting out the door.  you've been so good about it, though, and it's reassuring to know that you'll still be there for me when i come back.  our runs the last couple of days have been awesome, highlighting your unwavering commitment.  as of now, i'm recommitting myself.  the next month won't be easy, as i'll still have that pesky work hanging around, but i'll do my best to make time for you each day.  i know that even though you're always there when i come around, it's still a two-way street and you can't do it without me.  i'm going to try to get out the door each day with you, even if it's only for a very short run, because in fact, i really like you and like spending time with you.  we're a good match for each other.
yours,
cassie
