left house at about 7:00 am. planned to run up cedar canyon and back home. wind was blowing down the canyon so with the up hill and the wind it was brutal. myfastest mile was 8:00 and slowest was 10:30. i even took a side canyon road to try to get away from the wind but it was steeper and just as windy so i went backout to the main road and continued on. time for the 8 miles up was 1:12:43. had some tail wind down the canyon, although in a few places the wind was in my face. started raining at about 13 miles, backed off the pace at 14 miles and got home with a 15.1 miler, and was pretty much soaked. hit some good faster than MP miles from 9-14 miles, felt pretty good and made fighting the wind worthwhile. run total time was (2:00:51) i figure now i just need to stay healthy and avoid injury at work and running. |
