AM 2 miles w/jogging stroller Time 14:20 Avg pace 7:10 I feel odd doing a run this short but I only have 10 miles to work with today. So my choice is use 2 in the AM or do only one run today. I choose the 2 run option. PM 8 miles Time 53:17 Avg pace 6:40 I wanted to get a little marathon pace work in. So I went to liberty park so that I wouldn't have to deal with any stoplights. I started out with a warmup mile then went into marathon pace, or a little faster, for 6 miles then rounded it out with a cool down mile. When I started I was running about 20 feet behind a guy for the enter first mile. I didn't think much of it, so when the time came I eased into my pace at the one mile point. I passes the guy that I was running behind, then he quickly passed me back. Hmm... that's odd, I thought. Within about 100m I passes him again without really trying. Sure enough, here he comes sprinting past me again. I smile to myself and think, O this is going to be FUN! When I caught him again I looked at him and said, “nice job, your really working”. He replied, “ya, I don’t know if I can keep up with you”. I reassured him that he could, knowing full well that I’m going to be doing this for 6 miles before I slow down. I made it a goal to keep him with me as long as I could. Every time I would pass him I would do my best to spur him on, then he would pass me back. This went back and forth about 10 times. Then when I passed him he didn’t catch back up. A little while later I hear him yell form behind me, “DANG IT!!” That was one competitive |
