An important Lesson(2)

Tweet

Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno,a teacher from Mount Kisco,New York.She too was running easily,moving along efficiently at my speed.The pace felt comfortable,so I decides to stay where I was;why bother concentrating on pace when she was such a nice pacesetter for me?I would overtake her later on when she was tired.So I was running closely behind her.The course headed north for five miles,wandered west for a hilly mile,then turned south again along a winding road.The race was getting tougher.We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.I was breathing hard and my legs were beginninh to stiffen.
