Training Adversary
I must say I was looking forward to having somebody to train with for the Santa Clarita Marathon. Even if we never ran together, knowing somebody else was covering the miles and would be asking me if I did the same was a good incentive. It also gave me another answer to the standard 5 AM question I often ask myself - "Do we really have to get up now?"
But now that Mister P has made known his disdain for single-sport athletes (term "athlete" is used loosely in association with me, to be sure) I'm not sure we're really training together. I will say this though - I have no doubt that Mister P's marathon experience will help him finish well ahead of me this fall.
It's possible that he's just trying to trick / shame me into triathlons.

Mister P.'s marathon experience will only slow him down. While Brad will soar ahead on his giraffe legs in naive bliss, caught up in the excitement of doing his first marathon, Mister P. will be grumbling along on his daschund legs.
And perhaps I do not have disdain for single-sport athletes, but simply disdain for you.
