Today I was talking to my grandparents on the phone and my grandpa asked me how my marathon training was going. I proceeded to explain how, though it's going, my motivation is currently in a mid-training slump. My grandpa then continued to say how I needed a running buddy.

With this statement I agreed saying, "hopefully I'll find one someday."

"Yeah, Prince Charming will eventually come," my grandpa said through a chuckle.

"Maybe," I said, not entirely convinced he will.

"And when he does, he'll be a great running buddy because he'll chase you."

Now, I couldn't help but laugh at my grandpa's last statement, not because it was or was not true, but because Prince Charming chasing me would probably be the key to get me to run faster.

As I sit here I cannot help but wonder ... am I in good enough shape to out run prince charming? Shoot. I better up my training. Either that, or Prince Charming is going to have to run fast. :-)
