AM: 9.3 on the Pipeline Trail. A bit faster than usual because there were some fairly fast runners on the trail bearing down on me and I don't like being passed.

Haha. You and Jeff both! In Philadelphia I got passed by an old guy on one of my recovery runs at about ~10' pace. I let him go. My 5k pace at the point was in the 5:20s.

Funny, Jason...

A few years back in Dallas (when I was a bit faster as well), I refused to let this college kid in terrible running gear pass me because I could tell he only had about a half-mile in him...and he really wanted to pass me. One of my more meaningful alpha male triumphs.

Oh, I know. I didn't say I never done it :-)
