Yesterday my long run partner told me to take it easy, so I did for the first few miles. I couldn't resist picking up the pace for the last few miles and setting mini-goals (e.g., passing the Quincy Police men, passing other girls in running skirts, and finally passing a girl in a Varitek shirt near the end). I almost passed another guy (#9038) after passing Varitek but think he must have been so pissed at the idea of being beat by a girl that he picked up the pace too.
