The Sweetness of Growing Slow


Today, Marty and I went on a run together.  In a different time and different life, we rarely ran together.  My pride came along as person number three  and Marty was usually the crowd.  
Now, one of my goals is to run more slowly, and I usually succeed.  In a great twist of fate, Marty now waits up for me and grows tired of all my walking!


 
We had lots of time to talk today. I got caught up on a few of her concerns about the kids.


Much of this run was on the road. I miss the trails.

"all you care about is running"

"that is absurd, mean, and an exaggeration. Do you really think I don't care about the quality of beer I brew?"
