no matter how slow, no matter how fast
- it will change your life forever.

I'm pretty sure the wind PUSHED me to go faster

3 miles
29:35 minutes
9:53 pace

Wow.  It was so windy for last night's run.  This was the first time to see a pace in the 9s in quite some time.  It must have been the wind pushing me along.  However, the wind was in my face coming back, and that was pretty annoying.  This is my last run until Saturday's half marathon.


{the good} The wind picking me up & guiding me down the road for the first half of the run.

{the ugly} The headwind pushing me back for the second half.

  1. My usual course is mostly through a neighborhood with three long parallel streets, so I'll go down one into the wind, and the next one have it at my back and the difference is amazing. It's been super windy this week when I've run there, and I've been lucky that on the last leg back to my car the wind has been at my back and I could just coast to the end.

    Good luck on Saturday!
