Slow slog.

Sam and I started out on our normal route, but we hadn't gotten very far when Sam said he wanted to run on the track to change things up. So we took a small detour from our normal route and went to the middle school track. We had gone a half mile when we got to the track, so we decided to run 8 laps and then run home to get our 3 miles. We ran together for about a half a lap and then he decided to speed up and see if he could lap me. When he finished his 5th lap, he decided that he wouldn't be able to lap me, so he stopped and waited for me to finish my 5th lap (I was about a half a lap behind him when he stopped). Then he ran the remaining 3 laps and part of the way home with me. We had to go up the hill sprint hill to get home and when we got to the bottom of the hill sprint hill he left me and ran home faster than I did.
I've registered both of us for the Turkey Day 5K and he's going to beat me easily this year.
I did run a little faster today than I have recently.
