Ever since Mike received word from his doctor that he needed to change his diet and incorporate more exercise, he’s been joining me on my morning runs.
This conversation took place a few blocks from our house.
MIKE: This is kinda fun, huh? Working out together?
ME: Yeah, it is. Makes it much more fun for me!
MIKE: I guess it helps that we enjoy spending time together.
Me: Yes. (pause) You know you’re my rock, don’t you?
MIKE: Really? I’m your rock?
ME: Yep. You and Jesus.
Minutes later, we round another corner and Mike takes the ‘lane’ next to the curb, right as a car races past me, close enough that I truly felt a bit of a ‘breeze.’
ME: Wow. You sure aren’t looking out for my safety, are you?
MIKE: (without breaking his stride) I was letting Jesus take care of that one.
