It was sunny and beautiful, and the weather is supposed to continue to be gorgeous.  Today it was warm but by Monday it&#8217;s supposed to be in the 80&#8217;s- mwa ha ha!!  Anyhow, I always have wanted to be a part of a couple that runs together but really, never thought I would ever pony up the sweat enough to do it.  Now we are and I love running down the road with him.  There&#8217;s this strange sense of pride that I have that we are doing this together, unified, supporting one another.  That he runs with me.<br \/>\nHe is so kind.  The man can fly.  At his peak he was running 6+ and 7 minute miles.  So for him to chug along with me at 11&#8217;s is terribly sweet.  He could chide me and bully me along, but he lets me be at my own pace on the street routes I insist on running, even though I know he much prefers the track. He lets me run on the road instead of the sidewalk because I hate going up and down the driveways and he even picks up the dog&#8217;s &#8216;do&#8217; and carries it (sometimes for a long time) until we get to a trash can.  The best?  He lets me sing Selena Gomez* and Queen songs to him while I run.  He just smiles.  I feel lucky that I have a partner at all, but him?  Bees knees.<br \/>\nI love him like a love song baby, and I keep hitting repeat!<br \/>\n***<br \/>\nI&#8217;m 3 miles away from making my goal of 12 miles this week!  \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n***<br \/>\n*I know.  First Katy Perry, now Selena.  There&#8217;s something about that power pop that makes me cruise!
