Until run indoors at MAFC, thanks to rain. Until, in this case, being until GF called me when she got back from Little Rock with her mom. Which meant I got 7 miles done. Then we drove to Fayetteville, got her fitted for shoes at Fleet Feet (she picked the Sauconys, Asics and Mizunos being the other options), showed her my name on Senior Walk, then we came back to Fort Smith and had dinner at Taliano's. Had a really, really intense conversation. She told me some things about herself that were very, very private. They surprised me, but they didn't scare me off. I guess I passed the test, because a few minutes later, she told me she loved me. I really knew she did, whether she said it (or admitted it to herself) or not, but it was a thrill to hear those words again. Those words I never thought I'd hear again. She knows how I feel, too. So now everything's out in the open. Even most people at work now know about us. Most are happy; some are, it seems, a little jealous. Get over it, folks. Not going to drag me down to your level of misery. |
