Great run! Faster than me. :)</p> <p>I had resigned myself to being a slow runner before I started hanging out with a competitive runner I work with.

I had resigned myself to being a slow runner before I started hanging out with a competitive runner I work with. She has convinced me that if I’m willing to do the training I can get to be much much faster than I am now.

Remains to be seen just how much of that training I want to do, but already I’ve shaved a minute per mile off my 5km pace. :)
