One of my clients from Germany has never been to DC and was telling me he was training for a 1/2 marathon, so I offered to let him come running with me this morning. Due to Jetlag he wanted to wait until 6:30am which I totally understood. Waited for him in the lobby and sure enough he showed up, which quite suprised me. Anyway, I should have known better last night when he opened up a pack of cigarettes and started puffing away after dinner. But lets just say that was the longest 3 miler I have ever been on. I think it took us 45 minutes to go 3 miles. I ended up circling back and droping him off at the hotel and ran another 3 on my own. Maybe it was good to slow down a little bit, but I think if he wants to come again tomorrow I'll get an early 10 in before meeting up with him :) |
