Dear Running, It's now been about 4 weeks since we last hung out and I've been thinking about you and missing you, a lot. Since parting ways, I've had a lot of time to think and reminisce about our time together over the past couple years. I remember when I first re-introduced myself to you Running, it was back in January 2008 and I admit that I was nervous to ask you to be my friend again. We got off to a bit of a rocky start, but after spending more and more time together I realized we were easily becoming fast friends again. We had so many great times together last year, travelling, racing, challenging each other - you really taught me a lot about myself. Running, you also showed me just what I was capable of and I thank you for that. I feel kind of bad about how we parted ways recently. I didn't mean to start spending less and less time with you, it just kind of happened. You see, as I started packing on the pregnancy pounds it just got harder and harder to keep up with you Running. You always wanted to hang out with the 'fast' crowd, and I just kept slipping farther and farther behind. Eventually I just felt it was best to stop trying to spend time with you so that I wouldn't be holding you back. I enjoyed our last outing together - a short run on the rural roads around our cabin at Shuswap Lake. It was a tough time together because I realized that would be our last time together for awhile. Now I can't help but feel a bit jealous when I see you hanging out with my sister and husband and other friends too. However, I know we'll start spending time together again after my little boy makes his way into this world. Running, your friendship means way too much to me to let you slip away forever. In fact, my mind is already busy thinking of events and things we can do together in a few months. I am looking so forward to it! In summary, I miss you Running. I am thankful for everything you have shown me, taught me and done for me and I can't wait to start hanging around together again. I hope you haven't forgotten about me either. Take care and let's get together soon, Your friend, Nikki
