lunchtime run

Went for a run at lunchtime with another couple of guys here, one of them is a multiple Ironman and trains like I can't believe.  He is always cycling enormous distances and swimming really early in the morning.  Shame on me.  I've been resting since Monday as I just felt wasted!  So at lunchtime 3 of us went off, I started to think it was a fast pace, half way around I was feeling good but one other chap was starting to fall behind, leaving me and Ironman going.  I pushed up a hill and saw him dropping behind, slowed up for him and then pushed on again.  It was a fast pace for me and was feeling chuffed that Ironman was struggling a bit, but he kept with me as I got the finish in sight and thought thank god for that, he looks at me and says, 'good pace today then Andy', 'yeah, I'm rested and your not', I replied thinking thank god it's the end.  See you tomorrow he says as I stopped and he carried on for another 3km! 

 

No really I'm not competitive!
