I love when my husband has the day off of work! I slept in and had a great night sleep and then was able to run 6 miles. At the beginning of my run I was approaching an intersection where I turn onto a bigger street(Quebec). When I was still a block from the intersection another runner past by. I was glad I was a block behind because if I was closer I would feel the need to speed up and pass the man. However, when I got to the intersection and started running behind him the gap starting getting smaller. I tried to not look at him and keep my pace nice and easy. This continued for awhile until we hit a hill. I usually accelerate going up a hill, and sure enough I passed the man. I set out to have a nice easy slow run and it still was but I just can't help that little competitive edge that kicks in. I know it is good to be a bit competitive when racing but I need to also be able to enjoy a slow run and not have to prove myself, to myself.
