trust

Today I did a 'partner' workout at the gym with a girl I'd never met.

We had to run 1 mile side by side,
Jump over each other while lying on the ground and do 100 total push-ups on either side, sweat dripping on each other, and carry each other on our backs for 200 m each, drenched.

All the while, I didn't know her  name.  I didn't ask because I just wanted to blindly trust a stranger.

We motivated each other like we'd known one another forever, and then I realized that ultimately we were the same, there for the same reason, and we didn't need to know anything else.

It felt good to trust and be trusted like that..
Sort of refreshing actually.
