On My Own...Sort of

So yesterday, I am doing my resistance training on my own and Tim happens to actually be working out at the same time. I'm doing well with the millions of different types of squats each with different kettle ball weights. I move on through my list taped on to my water bottle that he wrote out for me on Wednesday. Next up is the treadmill. I hop on and try to challenge myself with going faster than he had me do last Wednesday then all of a sudden Tim gets on the treadmill next to me and starts talking to me. So not only am I attempting to run faster, breathlessly, but I'm supposed to be able to carry on a conversation? I don't know if this is normal or just residual military habit but its second nature to fall into step with the person next to me. So now I'm also running with the same rhythm. (Of course his strides are like twice the size of mine). I finish the assigned distance and went back for the second round of resistance while gasping for breath.
