it was SO windy! the plan was to run 6 miles and do 4 miles of long-tempo (marathon pace) in the middle. i ended up doing a bit more than that because it felt so darn good. dave was nice enough to drive me out and drop me off so the wind was at my back and it was a darn good thing he did since it was crazy windy. i took splits in kind of random places since i wasn't sure about mile marks. here's how it went down:
first 1.1 miles of "warm-up" to house 7:29 (6:48 pace)
start "workout"
next .66 miles to intersection 4:17 (6:29 pace)
next mile 7:01 pace
next .85 miles to the trail 5:50 (6:51 pace)
next 1.75 miles to the intersection at hwy 19 and hwy 3 11:39 (6:39 pace)
next .38 miles 2:34 through town, up the hill on 3rd street to washington (6:45 pace)
cool-down .36 miles to my house 2:53 (8:00 pace)
so, a little all over the place pace-wise, but i could tell a HUGE difference in how fast i was running when the wind gusted or when it was blocked by trees. all in all, it felt great - not hard at all. thank you weather for making me feel good about myself.
