That one time I ran with Haile Gebrselassie

It's 6 in the morning, my alarm clock just fired. It's Friday and I'm about to get ready for work. But today I won't put my jeans and sneakers. Today I put on my shorts and step into my Adios Boost. Today, I run with the greatest of all time. Today, I run with Haile Gebreselassie.
It's 7.30, I've just met my childhood idol and today I've the chance to share a precious moment with him while doing what I love : running. 
Our 8 people group take the first trail off the road and it feels like running around Addis Abeba. 4:33 for the first km, one of us already dropped. 4:15, two more have to go their own way. While the pace is increasing, I'm enjoying every bit of that experience. 
A sub-4 km and a hill take down the fifth runner. We'll finish the 9km loop with four runners, alongside the greatest of all time. Alongside a legend with a smile on his face, and not a single drop of sweat on his forehead. 
It's 8.15 and I had the perfect start for the day. Thanks Haile.
