My all time favorite buddy is always out there to make me happy. She writes -

"Shroom I'm sorry you havent' been able to run as much as you like, as you mentioned in your last email, but I saw your Chennai Marathon pics on your blog, that's really exciting! Congrats! The way I see it is, running is something you'll be conquering for the rest of your life, and you're going to just get better and better and better and i'm so impressed with what you've already accomplished and don't be hard on yourself man, you're a way better runner than 95% of the people I know. I try to run daily and i still take 10 minutes to run 1 mile -- if I'm lucky. I know how damn hard running can be and I'm really impressed by all you have done. Don't beat yourself up, just enjoy it, you da bomb shum. "
