Are they dedicated to seeing you succeed or do they just say they are?
What if one person has been running awhile and could run 5 miles without hesitation? Would they run extra just so that they could make sure the other person does not feel discouraged and start walking? Would they want to be there so you do not just sit on the side of the road because cookies sound so much better than gasping for air?
When you get into a relationship you automatically hope that your partner will be there. This is not, however, always the case.
Hence the 5k.
I have started doing the C25K program and Cory has been right there. Every step of the way. Even when throwing in the towel sounded so good and sitting down seemed like an acceptable alternative.
Perhaps, though, the run isn't the point at all. Maybe it is showing me how he will treat our relationship and how important it is to him to do what is best for our family. By being there. By encouraging. By making sure no one on our team gives up..
Because all of us are crucial.
No matter how big the race.
It is a good indicator who is in it for the long haul. Even when you are absolutely sure that you are.
Could it really get any better than this? I am not so sure.
