Fast Company

Ty and I completed our 21-mile park run last Sunday morning with a flourish, kicking in the final 800 meters at a sub 6:00-minute pace. Dueling to the finish, we left numerous recreational runners in our wake. In the end, Ty folded and the X-Man cruised in about 11 seconds ahead. Though it was only a training run, the point was made, the gauntlet laid. As we broke out the Gatorade and began to break down our morning jaunt, a woman came trotting by. "You are fast," she said, staring me straight in the eyes without even acknowledging Ty. In more ways than one, baby—in more ways than one.
