In the company of men

Lazy decided to keep her promise and went out for a “jog” with the work crew. It was my first run with the boys and boy was I smashed! >,>” Three things I noticed: (a) My Sunday training group runs in a much slower, steadier beginners pace; (b) I run a hell lot slower when I am by myself, and (c) Men run faster than women in general (sorry chickadees…) – assuming both gender are on a similar fitness level. Anyway given I am used to that slow, steady training pace (9km/h), suddenly I am running at 13km/h over 7+Km - so it comes to no surprise that I nearly sh*t myself. The heat also got into me too.

Anyway, so that was my run with the work crew. I will definitely return next week post-marathon. I mean, come on, you don’t run with people who are worse than you to improve right?
