Why be faster than Schroff?

I have the best friends in the world and live in the greatest running community anywhere. Peoria Illinois. My bud's are consumate Sh!t talkers. Of course...so am I. It keeps us going. We compete against with one another as if we were elite athletes. Some are older, some are younger. Schroff is one fast dude. I've not beaten him in a long, long time....
