1 of 3 training Saturdays before the race

Jan arrived at the metro park at 6:30am. They had about 3 hours of running and it was always better to get the run completed earlier in the day. Rick, Jan's husband complained that her running schedule took too much of their Saturday.

Pete arrived next and waved as he exited his vehicle. Rosa was right behind him on schedule.

Jan wore her usual light weight running shorts with a high slit up the sides and built in mesh underwear. Her hair was in a pony tail that ran through the back of her quick dry hat. She had a lightweight long sleeve running shirt over her sports bra. Her bust was on the smaller size which helped a lot with distance running. Jan did not envy Rosa's large breasts when it came to running. That couldn't be fun. However, she was a little envious at other times. Being an A cup wasn't always the best. However, Rick didn't seem to mind. It was like he tried to pinch, pull, or suck them clean anytime he had them at his disposal. They were just nipples, she didn't get the appeal. Boys were weird.

Pete had a quick dry t-shirt which looked fitted but not overly tight. His slender athletic frame looked to be ideal for distance running in Jan's opinion. His short running shorts did a good job showing off his butt, quads, and calves. Jan laughed to herself. She could tell he did most or all of his running in the early mornings as his legs above his knees were whiter than below the knees. His legs did look good though.

Rosa was looking toned in her form fitting long sleeved workout top. Those breasts appeared to be maxing out that top. Rosa's hair was up in a tight bun to keep it from bouncing and she wore a visor. She too had lightweight short running shorts. Her legs and ass were definitely bigger than Jan's. That was 100% due to Rosa's dedication to her weight lifting. Jan had heard all about it many times, especially the hot trainer she worked out with twice a week. Rosa had invited her a few times but that was the life of a single woman. Jan had a career, kids, husband, and household to manage. Jan's running hobby was stretching her thin but she couldn't give it up. Running was how she decompressed.

"We ready to do a warm up jog and stretch?" Jan asked.

"Ready," Pete replied.

Rosa yawned and nodded her head.

Jan took the front, then Rosa, and lastly Pete.

After about a mile at an easy pace, they stopped at a covered picnic area to stretch.

Rosa and Jan had their routine down for stretches. They did their regular hamstring, quad, calf, and back stretches. Pete was using the picnic table to prop up one leg and lean over into a back and hamstring stretch.

Jan looked up at Rosa to see her checking Pete out while he was stretching. A pang of irritation washed over her. This was one of her best friend's husband. Leslie and Jan had grown quite close over the years and Rosa was looking at him like some piece of meat from the gym.

Pete seemed not to notice as he stood up, pointed his arms in the air stretching his rounded shoulders and v-shaped back muscles and then bent over to grab his ankles.

Pete did have a nice figure. Maybe she couldn't blame Rosa too much. Jan knew Pete was a good looking guy but really never got to see his body engaged like that and in this athletic setting.

"Whew, it's warming up a little," Rosa leaned over and whispered to Jan. "You didn't tell me this guy is like a 8."

Jan blushed and thought to herself, Rosa was lying, Pete was definitely a 9 or 10. She blushed again at how easy that thought came.

"Alright," Pete announced, "you ladies ready for the run?"

"I'm ready," Rosa responded. "Jan was hoping you could set our pace, though."

Jan elbowed her friend.

"No problem. Should we start at a 8 minute mile pace?" Pete asked.

"Yeah, that sounds good," Jan agreed.

Pete stepped on the path and looked at his watch before speeding off.

Rosa winked at Jan as the moved to follow Pete's lead.

Jan found herself fixating on Pete's calves and hips as he kept the 8 minute mile pace. It wasn't too fast but they were working on building endurance this far out from the race. She could tell Rosa was staring at Pete's ass. Again, she felt oddly protective of him and maybe... jealous? Perhaps combining their Saturday runs wasn't such a good idea after all she thought. He did have a nice gait to his run.

The weather was perfect as the sun was now completely up and lighting the path. They passed the small lake about half way through the five mile loop. It was surrounded by woods and was quite secluded this early in the morning except for the occasional dog walker. One older guy, probably in his sixties, watched the ladies pass by with much interest. He visibly did the up down look of someone checking them out.

"Nice to know you still got it, right Jan," Rosa exclaimed.

They saw Pete's shoulders bounce as he chuckled at Rosa's comment from about 5 yards ahead.

"What, you don't think we're hot stuff?" She said joking and nudged Jan to follow as she sprinted ahead of Pete.

Jan shook her head. She didn't know why, she had nothing to prove, but she sprinted ahead to join her friend in front of Pete. They were about 3 miles in and her runners high was kicking in. Something else was kicking in. Her curiosity at Rosa's comments. Was Pete enjoying watching her as much as she enjoyed watching him? Or was he checking out Rosa who clearly had the physical assets most guys wanted. Jan questioned whether a guy would even be interested in looking at sweaty girls in gym clothes. She pushed down her excitement as Rosa trying to rile her up.

They noticed much heavier path traffic as they approached the 10 mile mark of their 15 mile run. The three runners had a heavy amount of sweat across their bodies. Rosa had ditched her long sleeve a couple of miles back for the racer back running tank top which had a built in sports bra. Jan rolled up her sleeves since she was only wearing her sports bra underneath and didn't want to lose the shirt in public. Pete had a line of sweat down the back of his shirt which almost made an arrow down to his crevice.

They had switched the lead pace role several times as they ran. It seemed like Rosa would make a bit of a show when running directly in front of Pete. Rolling her shoulders back a little more or swishing her hips when passing by. Jan was conflicted but did not complain when it was her turn to run behind Pete.

"Walk and cool down," Jan announced as they finished their 15 mile mark.

"Great run you guys," Pete replied.

"Yeah, we had great motivation," Rosa said coyly, "and teamwork!"

Rosa lifted the front of her tank top and fanned up and down. This action showed her toned abs and made her breasts jiggle under the confines of the tank top bra. Jan could see Pete purposely not looking at Rosa while she was flapping her shirt. He was a real gentleman.

After the cooldown they did their post run stretch routine. Rosa seemed to be laying it on pretty thick around Pete. As she bent over to stretch, her large breasts strained against the tank top fabric. Jan admitted, Rosa's breasts did look great in that running tank top. She was impressed that Pete was still doing his best to avoid eye contact with Rosa's body.

Jan bent over to stretch her back and hamstrings. Her eyes closed as her warmed muscles and tendons stretched after their physical exertion. Still bending over, Jan opened her eyes and caught Pete watching her. He quickly looked away. Was he looking at my ass, Jan thought. She blushed and stood up. A new warmth spread across her body. She turned around and Pete was lifting his right leg and pulling from behind to stretch his quads. No, he was just stretching, like we all are, she said to herself and tried to dismiss the thought. She could not dismiss the thought, though.

Rosa sat next to Jan as they did an outer hip stretch while they twisted their upper bodies.

"Your friend Leslie must be a lucky girl. I haven't caught him checking me out yet. I think he looked a few times but not in the creepy old man way."

Jan shook her head, "you're a dweeb Rosa."

Jan couldn't get the memory out of her head that she HAD caught him looking at her own ass. That warmth spread across her again and this time it spread through her everywhere.

"Alright ladies, I'll see you next week," Pete said. "Don't forget I'll send out some articles and stuff for motivation. We are at the homestretch for training!"

"Adios," Rosa replied and added once he was out of ear shot. "Watching that man run is motivation enough
