If so, you don't really like him very much, do you?

He's been running almost 2 months now, so it's all good.
Actually, I warned him that it was going to be hell for a few miles, but he wanted to do it. I made him bring his Camelbak 70oz bag and I also made sure he ran very slow. He's a tough guy and I feel pretty confident in my ability to coach a newbie, so I let him come along. I ended up running about 2 miles longer than he did because I kept circling back to find him since I wanted him to go slow. He's none the worse for wear today, and actually thanked me for pushing him out of his comfort zone. But no, I wouldn't recommend that run to most new runners.
