Better than me...

Today I ran next to a runner who looked like she was probably a better runner than me. She was running at 8.6 for most of the time and she ran just as long if not a little longer than I did. I ran at 8.0 miles per hour and limited my stopping to 2 or 3 times (to get water....short stops) and I pushed to 9 miles instead of just 8. For the most part I am usually the only one I can see around that is running as fast and for as long so to run next to someone who is better makes me challenge myself a little more. It was great. I will look for her again next time.
