Comments:

I decided to go hard. Make a workout out of it. Managed to start with a 4:30 pace but it felt like I was more at the 9k mark than the 1k mark so there I went slower and slower and slower. But a HARD effort to the 5k turn around and a bit after, but my pace was slowing and I had to go to the washroom. Took a minute at 7k to deal with that. Then jogged for a bit.

Then this lady with super loud music comes running up. Just huffing and puffing. And I am like, well I am going to run with you. So I stayed just in front of her. She had good music. I tried to chat a bit, but she was totally in the zone. Whatever. I was going much faster now, like a 5:20 pace or so (I was at a 6).

Perhaps that was creepy. I let her beat me at the end.
