Handicaps for Runners?

So I met Megan and Jeremiah for a delightful lunch in the middle of busy season. On the way back to the office Megan and I stopped at the Apple Cookie Company. Of course, instead of buying one or two cookies like a normal person, I bought a dozen. I did give two to Julia but now just over an hour later there are just two left here on my desk. You do the math. And because I probably did just eat a pound of butter just hours before our speed workout I think that it's perfectly reasonable that, instead of our goal time of 7 minute miles (3), I am allowed to run them in 12-15 minutes....
