Yesterday's 10 mile run took me south for 4 miles directly into some rather extreme wind. At times the gusts would come at me so hard I almost stopped moving. At other times I felt like I was pool running, the resistance was so great. When I turned east for a mile the wind was frequently blowing my recovering right (southerly) leg into my left leg. When I finally turned around to head back north, I felt like I was getting pushed forward a foot whenever the wind would gust along from behind. It makes for very exciting running.

Today I ran 5 miles on trails with T at an easy recovery pace.
