Run to work with Rob

Rob from the club is running to Canary Wharf from Chislehurst.   I first have to run the 3 miles to the meeting point. I leave plenty of time to get there and have a rest but somehow only end up with a 5 minute rest.

Soon Rob comes along.  We chat away and initially I am fine.  Then I start to suffer.  And suffer and suffer.  I hang on but towards the end I feel Rob has dropped the pace for me.  We get to Greenwich Park but it still looks Olympic Closed so we run round the edge, putting crucial distance on the run

I know Rob had expected to get to Canary Wharf at 8:00am.  I glance at my watch as we arrive.  8:00am on the dot.  My pacemaker has done a good job.  I am now exhausted.
