The plan for today was to do three easy miles and the hike Diamond Head for cross training. I ran the first mile kind of fast so I could meet my husband after two miles and then walk the last mile with him. (8:14) Second mile marathon pace and it felt good (8:39) At the end of this mile I see my husband across the street? He should not be there, he should be farther along in his walk. I cross the street to ask him what took so long and find that it is not my husband! Right as I turn around on the other side of the street is a group of guys running into the park. They have their shirts off and are swagering more than running. These guys were just asking to be chicked! I should have waited for hubby but you know me I couldn't. Off I went and the chase was on. I passed them just before I hit mile three (8:15) as I passed I thanked them for the chase and smiled Oh it felt so good but I couldn't slow down and I couldn't find my husband. I had to hold this pace until I saw him. I didn't get to hubby until the 3.78 mile mark and I walked with him at that point so mile four seem much slower than it really was (9:51) .8 of the mile from the park to hotel (13.19) So much for an easy three.
