For Some People, Running Is A Religion
China, home, Hong Kong, Silly, Spouses & Partners | Romantic | July 23, 2018
(My partner and I are both school teachers with a long commute. On weekend mornings we get up early for training, so a lie-in is a rare treat for us. This happens on our first Sunday lie-in in a long time. I am absolutely useless as a human being until my first cup of coffee in the morning. My partner lightly nudges me awake.)
Partner: “Hey, sweetheart.”
Me: “Mrrrphrrr.”
Partner: “It’s Sunday.”
Me: “Yay.”
Partner: “What shall we do?”
Me: “Mrrrphrrbrdrrr .”
Partner: “We could go to church? Or a healthy jog?”
Me: “Sure, sure, that sounds nice.”
Partner: “The only problem is you’re Jewish and you hate running.”
Me: “Oh, yeah.”
Partner: “Shall we go back to sleep, sweetheart?”
Me: “Mmmmkay, if you want.”
(He got a good laugh out of that one!)
