My partner-

Manda86

inspires me to be better in every possible way. He runs beside me, even though it means slowing down so I can keep up. He pushes me (gently) to excel, to overcome my roadblocks, he's never once been harsh or snapped at me for not being able to run the distances that he can, just patiently ran next to me when I was able, and walked next to me when I wasn't, and he is the only reason I was able to...



run my first 5k last night.

You made me tear!!!

I've been thinking a lot about some of the people I have let into my life the last few years. All of them have been extraordinary in their own way. Some have been amazingly attractive, some have been super intelligent. Some have been awesome friends, and some turned out to be horrible antagonists.

Amanda is by far the most unique, beautiful, smart, funny, adventurous and just plain strong person I have ever been blessed to know. She completes me in a way I have never experienced before.

She says I push her, when the truth of the matter is that she drives me to be a better man. One who deserves such an amazing person, who is worthy of being her partner and her friend. She's my best buddy, my best friend, and everything I have ever asked God for. She's my dream girl in every sense of the phrase.

They say not all that glitters is gold, and I know from experience that is true. I can also tell you that sometimes, that beautiful, glittering jewel truly is a treasure, and one that you never even knew you were looking for.

Amanda B glitters because she is the most precious gem in the world. She is my soulmate, my partner and most importantly my friend.

Bear, I will always be at your side. Whether it is running, jogging, walking or just standing. I will be there. I won't push you, nor will I pull you. But I promise to always be next to you.

Congratulations of your first 5k. I am so proud of you.

Oh, and tonight we start on 6k, better update your zune.

All my love are belong to you.

Good job! And in the mountains, too!

Don't you have to have one leg shorter to run in the mountains, so you don't get lopsided running on the sides of mountains??

I couldn't be happier for two people, talk about timing huh?
