Open Letter
My Dearest Fiona,
How I miss thee!!! We have shared some great times over the
past 15 years, and you have given me so much joy and pleasure. I mean you truly
get me. You have always been able to almost instinctively able to know how much
stress I have and even when my heart is beating extra hard during physical
activity. You also seem to know when I have had a great night’s sleep and when
it’s going to be a bright sunshine day. Like
a true partner you alert me to emails and texts seconds before I am even aware
of them. As if we were one bonded together.
You were with me through the victorious days and not so triumphant
ones. When I was a serious runner, you were there on the many days that I almost
shit myself but managed to avoid the popular “brown mile”. The Lord knows there
were some turtle poking moments. You were there on that glorious day that I
finally broke the elusive 4-hour marathon mark in New York. You were there when
I felt strong and when I was at my weakest.
This all changed early this year, when my mind began to play
tricks on me. Like an obsessed lover I began to smother you by checking on you constantly
and not giving you room to breathe. It was truly hurting our relationship and although
torn I knew the right thing to do. I must set you free. Hoping one day we can
be reunited.
I am still hoping this day will come. I still see you
occasionally hanging out in the spot where we last departed each other. I know
there is no one else that has taken my place and believe you too long to be one
with me again. My dearest Fiona, if you only knew how much I want this reunion to
take place. I only hope you feel the same.
My arm where you once rested is now tan and no longer feels
the vibrations you once caused. I feel that I’m beginning to be in a better
place and almost ready to give it another go if you are willing. Let me know if
you feel the same. This time I will not obsess about what you provide me with. I
try to keep it professional like you have and only provide a charge when you
truly need it.
With Love,
JB
