Me vs. The Wind for 3 miles

felt great this morning even though I was woken up at 4:30 am by some heavy rain hitting my window this morning. I was ready to tackle a 3 mile run even though it was quite windy this morning. I headed out to the Salt Creek Trail and started my run. I felt very comfortable with the pace that I was at and attempted to stay completely steady. I didn't want to rush myself or hurry through my run. But with that said, I slowly felt myself run a little bit faster and faster throughout the run even with the wind. There was no point when I was running faster that I felt tired or struggled. By the time I finished, I felt completely fantastic, but started to feel the effects of my run in my left ITB and knee. I knew that I had to ice and hit the foam roller when I returned home no matter what. I am thankful for a rest day tomorrow, but might make it an active rest day on the bike depending how my knee feels in the morning.

Mile 1 9:04
Mile 2 8:49
Mile 3 8:27 - WHOA!

Avg Pace - 8:47/mi

Come bringth the wind and heat for 4 miles

I came. I conquered. I rewarded myself with a smoothie! Yum!

It's a WINDY run....

...but someone had to do it.

D*** Wind!

It was a very difficult run to do. I was already feeling a lot emotional and needed this run in order to feel a little bit better. By the time I was finished with my shortened under-3 mile run, I was tired and covered with buckets of sweat all over. Rest day tommorow before doing one last indoor cross-training session.
