10 easy at around 8:00 pace. Last mile more like around 7:30 because I tried to jog past a dude running about 15-30 seconds slower than me... that couldnt stand to be passed by a girl. So he sped up to about 7:30. I let him go the first time, but he couldnt hold it and slowed down again. This time I passed him. He tried to race again, running around 7:00min/mile. Im like, really? Dude, you are not less of a man because I happen to be running faster than you today. For all I know, you did a 20 mile tempo run yesterday, and you are doing some easy recovery miles. Everyone has their own pace for their own reasons on any particular day. Just get over it.

 Anyway, this time I sped up and held it to pass him. I hate being sucked into that crap, but it felt a little bit good when he dropped off ;)

Sounds like he needs to learn the "easy days EASY" lesson :-)

Where's the love - He was probably just trying to catch up to say HI...

Hi Penny.

I get sucked into racing that dude once a week! I kick myself for falling for it every time.

(Except when I win.[proving Andrea's point.])
