Today’s Exploit:
After 2 days of running with me Pat decided he should start out with every other day.
Then he decided he’d get a bicycle, so that he could work up to running every day. It took him 2 .3 weeks to finally buy the bike he wanted.
It spent another 3.4 days in the back of his truck and 2.7 in his bedroom. I think it shared his bed.
But yesterday he took it out, and took the paper advertisements off the wheels. And then he went outside.
When I went out to start my run, 5.3 minutes later, he was sitting by his truck.
I guess he’d been waiting for me, because he grabbed the bike and followed me. We got to the cattle gap (hehe) and I started running while he got on the bicycle.
He decided that riding just behind me, so that I could barely see him in my peripheral vision, was a good place. Not beside me, or ahead of me. Just barely behind me. He stayed there for 2 miles, until I had to walk a bit.
I was ready to turn around, so he went on ahead.
After a couple minutes of walking I got going back to the rig.
The plus side of Pat riding just behind me was dropping 4 minutes of my normal 4 mile time. That’s only 30 seconds from my target time per mile. It also made the last mile really hard.
