Tucker v. 2.0

I decided to use run with Tucker again today. It had been about a week, so I thought I was due for some more punishment speed training. I was supposed to do a 35 minute tempo run, but I knew it would be balls to the wall with Tucker. Okay, maybe not…none of us have balls. So, we ran FAST and FURIOUSLY. When I looked down at the GPS and saw, at one point, that we were running a 6:15 pace, I considered inducing vomiting. I thought maybe that would make it all better. Honestly, though, Tucker is the ultimate speed training partner, and it is getting easier to keep up with him. I did not know that it was possible for my legs to continuously turn over at the speeds I am running with him; and DAMN that feels good. That’s not to say that I will take my eyes off of him anytime soon. The four-leggers are sneaky…evil…sly…and they have a vendetta AND an agenda.
