Thai food bad when racing junior high boys...

Today I had lunch at Swing Thai with my friend, Lauren, and her new baby Lucy. It was wonderful to see her as it had been quite a while. It was especially nice to meet the beautiful Lucy.
So the workout for today was to run 10 miles with the first two at 9 min pace, the next two 8:40, the next two at 8:20, the next three at 8:00, and the last mile a cool down. I started off right on target with miles 1 & 2 at just under 9:00 pace, and miles 3 & 4 right at 8:40 pace. I stopped after mile 4 to stretch for a bit. Just as I was about to begin mile 5, I saw the Wheat Ridge junior high track boys coming up the trail. Well, I wasn't about to be passed like an old lady standing still, so my whole 8:20 pace went out the window and I ran the next three miles at 7:40 pace. They didn't pass me. I settled down to 8:25 pace for miles 8 & 9 because by then the Thai food was wanting to reappear.
