b2's raising funds by running a charity marathon this coming October. Today I received a text message for an invite to participate.....b2 & I have come a long way - our relationship hasn't been close. Rather, we have seen each other raise & fall (& raise again) in our career paths and personal lives. We got to know each other through our previous jobs in the hotel industry - I'm glad I ran into her.
I didn't know her well and neither did she know me well. But during tough times, we comforted & encouraged each other through phone calls and occasional e-mails. I've hardly seen her all this time. We never went out together - only once we had a meal at her hotel. After 3 years - maybe more, eventually, we both left the industry and kept in touch till recently. It's funny how two people can come together.
So after a few more text messages, we have agreed to run in the marathon together. My first race, so it is a challange for myself and another opportunity to get to know b2 better as from now till the race begins, we shall be planning more meet ups to train. I sense it will be a run worth running afterall (*smiles*).
Tommorrow I be in touch with her again to re-confirm if it is the 5km or 10km we're looking at...
