A running mate

Yesterday as Motivation and I were doing our running/walking combo, we were having a discussion about my progress. Oh, who am I kidding? I was panting and huffing and puffing. Motivation was doing all the talking. But anyway, in the middle of Motivation's pep talk, he suggests that I take up with a running partner. You know, someone who can offer that extra ounce of push when I need it or help me keep pace. But I'm confused. Isn't that your job I ask Motivation. Yes he replies, but before I can get a word in edgewise, he whips out a picture of his recommended running mate.

Yeah, as if David Beckham would want to run next to me every morning. Get real, Motivation.
