Jakeb and I took off in the muggy overcast morning for what was supposed to be a four miler. We hit about a mile and a half and I felt good so I asked Jakeb how he was doing.
He said, “I feel good.”
“Good enough to run five?”
“Sure, I’ll try it”, he said.
So we stretched our four miles into five. At about 3 and a half it started to rain which made the run much nicer since it was hot.
Toward the end Jakeb said, “This is my accomplishment of the week.”
I asked, “Are you ready to run eight more?”
To which he replied, “I will be in January.”
Good answer.
