It Always Evens Out in the End

Just like in that Seinfeld episode....
...after Jerry claims that his life always seem to be able to even itself out, Elaine tests his theory by throwing $20 out the window.
Today I walked my fastest mile ever, because I had a nice rabbit in front of me and I was damned and determined to overtake him. So we had a thang going for a while.

But.

I won.

Here are the numbers:

Mile 1: 14:58
Mile 2: 14:43
Mile 3: 13:44

(Yes those are minutes per MILE.) And that's my very very first sub-14-minute-walking mile!

As I smoked this guy, who was about five seconds behind me, and who had been glancing over his shoulder for the past two miles to watch as I stuck to him like glue, finally passing him in the last 1/2 mile, we both laughed, and I said, "Dang, you're fast!"

And he said: "So are you!"

(And Number One Daughter, now home from college, also out on the trail, said "Mom, remember when you could barely run that pace?" Yes, indeed I do!)

So, take that, roller-blading lady!

I'm fast!

At something!

Finally!
