Notes

Took off around 7am and made it a half mile before turning back to the house. Was a little under dressed so I added a jacket and headed back out. A stop around 6 for the bathroom and Gatorade and then had a Gu before hitting Mt Hope at mile 8. 1.3 and change up the road and the wind was unreal and blowing in the wrong direction. It also got very cold up there. Hit 202 and turned around. Seem to have lots of shoe issues today so several stops and starts. The wind was at my back on the way down Mt Hope and really pushing me forward so I struggled to get it slow as I could feel me feet really pounding the pavement. Picked my G2 up around mile 13 and finished it off. The last 2 miles felt sluggish and the wind/hills/cold/lack of sleep caught up with me although my pace didn’t slow to an acceptable pace it just felt harder. I probably should have run 20 today but I think the hills made up for it. Will get my 50+ miles in for the week tomorrow.

That's a good run Steve. I was out there yesterday for a very short while and that wind was tough. Sure it was worse on the mountain. Think that consistent mileage will pay off.
