Dear New Running Partner,
Hello! My name is Mustafi Chukwuemeka Adetokunbo, but my friends call
me Wuemeka. I have just moved to Philadelphia from Kenya and I too am
looking for a running partner. I run for twelve miles every morning,
and another eight at night. I now run a 4 minute mile. I know this is
slow, but no worry, I am aiming to run a 3:50 mile by next month. I
most look forward to running with you, my new friend! Please respond
with your contact information and where you would like to run. I am
not so acquainted with Philadelphia, but I would prefer to run in
densely forested areas if you know of any.
Run with you soon,
Wuemeka
