Easy Run
Lifted, fast walked and did drills prior. 15-20mph steady winds w/gusts to 30-35mph. Forgot to bring my headlamp so tried to stick to well lighted areas. Ran down Sharon to HarrisY and then then down Quail Hollow to where sidewalk ends on northbound lane & turned around (all w/the wind). At about 100' before I turned around sidewalk was dark, did not see huge branch laying across sidewalk & nearly wiped out (felt whiplash throughout my body). When I resumed turned around into stiff wind (felt like someone was pushing back on me) and about 1/4 mi later when mile 3 clicked it felt like "sudden fatigue" hit (legs felt heavy, difficult to maintain cadence, wind seems like it was 40mph). Ran up to Beverly Hills Elementary (into the gusting wind) and then 4 laps around the 200m track, then out to HarrisY and on the dirt trail (felt like I was dead). At 5 mi stopped to grab some water, did a set of drills (butt kicks, high knees) to get my "rhythm back" -- and that worked as I felt more bio-mechanically sound & form felt stronger -- final 1.5 miles right into the teeth of this wind (probably 10-15 sec p mi adjustment).
