I admire her. Love reading "Your thoughts and mine" She always inspire me... =)

From her:

Last nite, WE completed the jog together. :)
Thy far, he has never waited for me. Well, usually men and women's paces are different. Especially if its a 10 km run. Even when we went to run last week, despite the fact that he said we will run together, somehow what was left after the first 1.5 km was his silouette that just diminished into the dark.
I ran off first. And he was left behind to stretch since I needed a headstart in order to complete the run at the same time. By starting first, that meant I won't get to run with him again. Its really no big deal. I have always been running alone and I never really liked to run with a companion due to the different pace. However, a companion does feels good. It pushes you to keep going and you will not give up as easily.
That 10 km run is somewhat like how I would view a relationship.
10 km is 10 km. Its not a sprint run of 100m where you got to make a dash. The relationship is like this 10 km journey. You start slow in order to have the energy to go the distance. If you sprint at the beginning, you only find yourself out of breath by the 2nd km. Soon, you may have stitches and you may just give up by the 5th km!
Last night, i turned round and waited for him. He knew I was waiting so when we met, we continued to run at the same pace. All it takes is for him to run a little slower and for me to try to rev at higher revolutions. Once we both got the momentum, we were happily going 1 km, 2km, 3km.....10km.
Afterall, you still complete the course. The destination is the same. But this time round, the difference is you did it with someone. Along the way, I had some pain in my inner ankle but I just wanted to keep going. Similarly, he was not in top form last nite and at some points, I could have overtook him and ran ahead. Knowing him well, he would have gave up but i guess he stuck it on because I was there. I know men's ego, I made sure that I stayed one step behind sometimes to spur him on to lead.
Relationship is about going fast sometimes, but you should slow down sometimes. One two, One two, before you know it, you're at the same destination. :) You still burn the same calories whether you run at 10km/hr or 12 km/hr. At least you know should you fall, there is someone there to help you up. When you're tired, there is someone to cheer you on. If it rains, you won't have to hide in the shelter and cold alone.
You may choose to pursue your career and leave your love ones behind. All in the name of a better future. Before you know it, you may have disappeared into the dark and your loved one could have fallen without your knowledge. By the time she gets to the destination to find you, you may have lost the patience to wait or she could have been helped by someone else along the way. Its always possible to slow down a little and as the slower one, you must make the effort to try to pace wider or go at higher revolutions.
When you meet at the finishing line together, you celebrate the victory together. You wipe each other's perspiration off and head to 7-11 for a 100 plus and a H-2-O. What a sense of satisfaction. All the fatigue and aches earlier just din seem to matter anymore. :) Hand in hand you stroll and you talk about the day. You share your problems and I listen. The breeze sweeping past your face. Its really a good feeling.
You just know you can do this for a long long time.
