My Love,

Because it is Valentine’s Day, I want to let you know how special you are to me.

Sometimes I avoid you, and I’m sorry. And sometimes you hurt me, but we learn from that. I know that you are good for me. You wear me out and you energize me.

I really enjoyed our time on the beach this morning. Just you and I on the edge of a continent, with no one to see us but the gulls.

We’ve been together awhile, even though not all my friends understand our relationship. You are not just a passing fancy of my youth, like handball or the junior high basketball team. What we have will last for years and years to come.

Thank you, Running. Happy Valentine’s Day.
