"You want to start running?" It seemed so unlikely. I was bemused.
"No! I want to be a runner." She looked as bemused as I felt. "I mean, I want to be fit. I want to be able do stuff. Stuff fit people can do."
"Like run to catch a bus?"
"Well, yeah. But not just that. Like not get tired out from running the vacuum cleaner for 20 minutes."
"If that's all you want, you don't need to be a runner. Or even run. Just walk a little more. Maybe go for a hike on the weekend."

"No! I want to be a runner!" "I'm not a wizard," I said. "I can't just #kindle the running spark in you." "Please," she said. "Well," I said. "I could take you on a run with me." "Would that work?" "Can't tell if we don't try." #wss366
