Racing someone up the hill on a random day!

Will you race someone during your morning training runs?

This is not a nice thing to do I know; but I happened to pass someone during my morning run that has resulted in a race uphill!! I should say I was completely not at fault here!

I passed someone who may be felt like passed by a women and felt the need to fight! I happened to start my strides intervals right then and sped up every interval. It was uphill and probably the guy couldn’t surge ahead faster to catch up with my 4:35 min/km splits! He wouldn’t know I was in the middle of a workout and was probably thinking I was racing!

But I never felt the need to apologize or explain to him that day. As a woman I have been at the receiving end of men’s annoyance when women passes them! Like they can’t stand women running faster than them! If any man starts speeding up to race me, I always give them a good fight and I have gladly won most of these fights!

I will never apologize for being a strong woman!
