Sarah: How's this for a running-related story

After a long time failing to get Ikram to go running with him, I finally succeeded this morning! Hurrah!

All was well, he even actually tried to keep up with my pace except towards the end after we crossed the bridge and passed the football field. But I was in the zone and continued ahead of him. Besides, he has this habit of slowing down and then suddenly accelerating so that he could pass me still after being left so far behind.

And sure enough, I heard very heavy footsteps behind me, at a very frightening pace. I glanced behind quickly, saw that he had rolled up his pants above his ankles, and thinking that he means business! I quickened my own pace. Finally it seemed like he had caught up to me I turned around and smiled-- only to find that it was someone else! Embarrassed, I said sorry and quickly faced forward.

The dude said something like "Penat ke?" But I ignored him and ran back to my husband--Who I later found out was watching the whole thing from behind. He then explained to me that the dude had actually ran out of his football game to run after me and only realized I was with someone when he also turned back. He then ran back to the field and supposedly his friends tried to cover it up by asking him if he had 'bought the drinks'

This is the first time anyone's tried to hit on me so bravely while my husband was watching. He said that the dude is lucky that he's not the type to go off into a flying rage because if there's "one rule in this lawless world it's that you shouldn't mess with another man's wife".

And I said, "The guy probably didn't know since everyone always thinks you're my boyfriend."
And Ikram said in this rather chilling (and also ironically, very hot) way "Too bad."

And my own thoughts: The sweats that launched a thousand ships? Ohohoho.

Sorry, just enjoying it for a moment.

hahaha I love it! I'm not sure which part of this story is the worst/best: it must be that Ikram watched it all infold!

CONCLUSION = Running is good for your marriage, in apparently more ways than I would of thought.
