Not bad. I expected just under 28 for the 4 miler in this weather, but Mike will be Mike, a classical Type A runner.
That's nothing! I paced Mike to a sub-28 10k this week! We started off at 4:27 pace, and I was like, "Mike, buddy, we can't keep this up! We gotta reel it back!" but he wouldn't listen, intrepid soldier that he is, and he insisted we keep hitting those 4:27 and 4:28 miles.
And finally, after a little fading, I mean, I forget the actual splits, we hit 27:59 for 10k. Mike actually took out his earbuds, which were blasting Springsteen's "Born in the USA" to thank me for pacing him to his first sub-28 10k. And he removed his BAA hat for a second to wipe the sweat off of his brow.
Of course, there was no one around to see it. But it happened. You can't prove it didn't.
