Chasing Kris

Last night at Mom and Dad's party Kris and I agreed that she would do oldtown then through the casino, to Mercer Lake Road,  and then water break at Fred Meyer and back to Greentrees, which would give her 10 miles for her half marathon in September.  I said I needed to do 8 miles, and we agreed that I could sleep in, then skip Mercer Lake and cut up Spruce and chase her down.  Kris argued that she would take the better part of 2 1/2 to 3 hours but I should have known that was way too slow.  When I left my house at 8 AM I felt so cheerful I decided that I would just shave the casino and freddy's, making it closer to 9 miles, and take the last mile easy alongside Kris.  Well, it sort of turned into, chase Kris for 90 minutes and never catch up.  Later on when we chatted we agreed that she overestimated the time it would take for her to do the course, and me, well, now I'm completely done.  A little spinning tomorrow and it's all jogs here and there. So after a fairly spirited 9 plus mile run today, i feel as comfortable as I'm going to feel in the next week.
