During which my running buddy said "when you finish your first marathon...." - I love his confidence in me... as I struggle to run up a hill on mile 5.
Having a running buddy makes everything so much better. I'm pretty sure I annoy him constantly and I'm not sure why he's still running with me. I need to start baking him stuff before he bails.
Today I:
- Made him stick his finger in my eye to get a bug out of it (it flew right into my dang eyeball)
- Borrowed his water 80932438290 times during the run
- Threatened to hit him if he made me run up this steep hill I saw (thankfully it wasn't in the plan - don't worry, no violence occured)
- Slowed our pace down to 11:10 min/mile at one point
- Made him run longer than he planned on 4 hours of sleep because I didn't tell him I wanted to do 10 (and he runs over 2 miles to meet me & over 2 miles back)... oops
Even after all the crap I put him through today, he STILL shared in my genuine excitement for completing my longest run yet! 10 miles, average pace 9:52.
