pacing

Paced with Kaixuan today during the four rounds of running in PE, and some thoughts just struck me suddenly.
Cause during NAPFA when I was in primary school, I had amazingly good stamina (now it's like crap zzz) and always ran by myself happily and easily. But now with my dying stamina, it somehow feels more relaxing running with someone who runs at a relatively equal speed as me.
I used to have this concept that running with someone will make me feel very stressed out cause when I'm really tired and the person is still running seemingly effortlessly, I'll be like.. ARGHHH I cannot le wanna die le why she still can run!
Now it's more of, maintaining my speed regardless how tired I am cause I don't want to affect the pace of the person running next to me, and running somehow seems nicer with someone's company.
And something interesting is that, after running Kaixuan said she was following my pace, but I felt that I was following her pace instead! So it's quite cool that mentally both of us think that we're following the other person!
Oh well hopefully NAPFA will be less torturous running with Kaixuan (yep pacing with her!), cause when I run 3 rounds by myself I wanna die already, but with Kaixuan today I felt that I still can run another 1 or 2 rounds! Don't know if it's cause of my mood or the weather or other factor, but yea feel surprisingly happy with myself after today's run although it isn't exactly a super long distance.
