So I ran a 10K after losing 40 pounds (and beating long covid) in my 30's
The last time I paid to run was in high school (over 10 years ago). I ran a half marathon on two separate occasions- once with my dad and the other with some fellow cross country team friends. The first was a nice father/daughter bonding experience. Unlike me at the time, my dad was not an avid runner before he started training with me. But he dedicated himself to the cause and ended up finishing the half marathon with a great beginner time, despite battling scoliosis. We still remember it fondly.

The Real Me
I didn’t know the “real me” until I realized who I was around my soulmate. I cloaked myself with a tough work exterior that I lugged around the office and everywhere else like a ball and chain. I was constantly trying to prove my independence as the modern female does. I didn’t let hardly anyone into my inner circle because I didn’t want them to see the real me. Even though I didn’t have much to hide! He quietly and subtly came to know me, but it didn’t happen right away. See, I was quintessential loner, i.e., I worked hard and sold my energy to work, not human beings. I was okay coming home to an empty house and kitchen table. There were no expectations. He didn’t ask for my energy, full house, or dinner on the table though. Rather, he selflessly enjoyed my presence. His love language came out through food and home cooked meals: he loved putting the dinner on the table! Talk about opposites: I burned everything in sight. I would wake up to sizzling bacon, over easy eggs, and hazelnut coffee every weekend at his cozy apartment.
