Today I underestimated my co-worker. He wanted someone to run with on a 2 miler so that he could get a sub-18 minute time. He is also older than me. I told him that we could start together but I would probably catch up to him in the middle. That is exactly what happened. We then stayed together until near the end when he just turned on the jets and left me in the dust. I thought about trying to catch him for only a half second and let that thought go. He came in at 17:40. I came in at 17:55. He didn't even need my help. I guess it is just cool to have someone else run with you from time to time.
That being said. I need to add some tempo runs to my training. I'm too used to jogging which I love.
