One day my silly pride is gonna do me in. I run about an average of 1 1/2 times a week now, which means I'm a slow jogger. I'm happy to run 2 miles in 18 minutes since I do it just for cardio maintenance now. As I start my run, there's a girl about a half-length of the track in front of me, running at a decent pace. On my 6th and 1/2 lap, she passes me. I only planned to run 8 laps and half ass sprint the last lap. As I hit the seventh lap, I kick it in a higher gear and pass the girl at about the 100 meter mark of the eight lap. By 300 meters I'm spent and I know that I should slow down, but I could hear that girl coming up on me and damn if she was gonna pass me again. SO I bear down and run hard to the finish line. I feel like I'm gonna drop right on the spot, but I'm not gonna let her know it. I put my hands on top of my head and stretch my chest out and begin walking the cool down lap, all the while I want to bend over and heave for about five minutes to catch my breath. Silly ass pride.
