I was out for an easy 4 mile run on a paved trail this afternoon and was passed by a nice looking female type runner just before I turned around to head back to my start. I thought "she's only got a quarter mile or so on me and she wasn't going too fast...I can catch her!" So I gradually added juice to my pace. With half a mile to go she was still 250 yards ahead but I thought "I can still catch her!" So I cranked it up to about my max BF pace and a little more. I had the image of those guys in the Antietam Park video in my mind. I felt like I was flying. She ended up stopping just before I could catch up to her, but I was within 20 yards when she did. It was excellent fun!
I learned 2 things after I caught my breath:
1. Chasing women is still fun.
2. My feet felt the same or maybe even better going fast than they did at the easy pace.
Any comments, observations, or warnings?
Oh...my pace was just under 20 minutes on the way out and just at 17 coming back.
