while running down the road at the tail end of an 18 miler...
So I'm just about spent and this guy passes me on the other side of the road at about mile 16 - 17. I think to myself...NO WAY! So I speed up a bit and try to keep pace with him.
He stops! I think to myself...No, you can't stop...you have to keep going or I'm going to slow down. You know...it's all about me! ;)
So what do I do? I run across the road, take off my head phones and tell the guy that he can't stop! Oh yeah...I sure did! LOL!
He looked at me and laughed. I told him he passed me, so I started using him as a pacer. He said he does that sometimes, too, and we started running together.
Come to find out he's training for the Detroit Marathon and was out doing his 18 mile run just like me. While running he thanks me for the motivation. I tell him that I would be going much slower if it weren't for him and thank him back.
Of course, I can't pick some Joe Schmoe to run into and run over to yell at. I have to pick someone who can bash me on TV and in the newspaper because low and behold he's a news anchor and Free Press blogger! LOL!!!
Maybe he'll write about me or mention me Monday morning. Mike BrookBank.
Off to set up the DVR! ;)
