I nailed a sub-4 mile last night, actually 3:53. Yeah, well, it was on rollerblades, but still it should count for something.
As you’re cruising along at that speed, I cannot comprehend someone running alongside. I mean, it’s not that fast, but still to run a sub-four mile is incredible.
Then, I looked up the World Records for inline skating and I am not even in the ballpark. Just remarkable thinking these cats can blade faster than I bike.
