Cat and Mouse

A long long time ago, in a galaxy ... wait, wrong story line, but, awhile ago, The Boyfriend would leave me in the dust and I'd climb slower than a snail's pace and wonder why I was enduring the misery.  Today, on my day off, The BF and I did Mt Ham.

Nowadays, when we ride together, we play cat and mouse games.  I shot off like a rocket at the start of Ham and he did not catch me until mile 4.62.  It used be something like mile 2.  I made it to mile 17 before he caught me again on his descent.  It used to be something like mile 11.   I'm pleased.  I even smiled.
