I Can Still Compete Damn It Part 2 Damn It

After re-reading my first entry I like that I spelled Mary with two r's, fuck'em.

OK, so the instructor took the top ten runners in the group (I think there was about 25 total in the advanced) and we did a timed mile. I got really nervous, I wanted to finish the workout I started at the park. Here Are My Balls Shorts lead the first two laps and took us through at 2:40 - which felt crazy fast. I was surprised everyone in the group was still there. I started to think that maybe everyone held back at the park knowing that probably we would have this mile. Luckily after the 1000 mark, the pack thinned quite a bit. HAMBS dropped way back, leaving me and William & Mary girl. I was leading her around the turn, but she passed me at the straight and I heard the instructor say "here she goes".

Now I felt OK and I stayed with her. The whole workout, including the park, felt comfortable to me. I think the familiarity of doing a track workout and working out with a group made it almost easy. It's hard running by yourself nowadays. Waa.

Now back to the action: I could have passed her right back, she definitely did a short lived surge, but I decided to tuck in behind her (jason thought this was funny)... maybe she was going to bust out a 65 last lap? With about 300 to go she slowed, so I made my move and started going as hard as possible. After about 100 I was in PAIN. Arms, legs, stomach everything was on fire and stuff was coming out of my nose and mouth and W&M was still with me! Oh shit, that bitch, she tricked me! I barked at her, "Whore face whore head!" No. I did not do that, but I did dig down deep and was able to hold her off and beat her by 3 or 4 meters! I was dead. 5:37 was the final time. My sister later told me I was being obnoxious. She thought I looked like I could have easily beat her. I don't agree with her at all. I think I looked disturbing.

Authors notes:

Jason when I was on the phone with you a few weeks ago I told you I ran 6-8 miles a week. You reacted like I said 6-8 miles a day. Just to clarify - I said a week.

I don't know if the W&M girls name was really Tara.

I skipped the following day of Platoon, but did Friday and Saturday.

Redskins suck.
