Went for a run today. As I was heading down my street towards the orthogonal street that basically makes up most of my run I saw someone running along it. Once I got to the end he was maybe 50 metres ahead. Very unusually, we were running at almost identical paces. Took me about 2 km to catch up to him very, very gradually. Then for the next kilometre I’d move over to start overtaking him, and he’d see me out of the corner of his eye as I pass, and he’d speed way up to get a few metres in front, then slow down 🤦♂️
After about 3 or 4 times of that, after 1 km he finally let me pass him, possibly because he was near his finishing point or at least turning off in a different direction, because very soon after that I looked back and he was nowhere to be seen. And I went on with the rest of my run.
