Windy Run

I have to make this short.  I'm starving.  And there's a pita waiting for me in the fridge.

Did 5 miles again today.  1:09:14!!  Three full minutes faster!

Things I noticed:

-- There is way too much water in this city.  With nowhere to go.  Except in my shoes.
-- My socks are surprisingly absorbent.
-- It takes me a good three miles to get into a groove.  I feel great for the last two, but the first three seem to take forever.
-- Five miles is a good distance.  8km.  I'm making up my own training plan.  Right now, it's "run 5 miles faster than the time before".  After two runs, it seems to be going ok.  Once I can run longer and walk less I'll up the mileage.  I only have 1.2-ish miles further.


Yesterday I would run for one minute, walk for two minutes.  Today I ran for one minute, walked for 1.5 minutes, and once every 15 minutes I walked for two minutes.  At 40km/hour, the wind was just a bit much today.

My leggies need to rest, but the forecast is calling for +3 and sunshine tomorrow, and +1 and RAIN on Wednesday.  I think Wed is a good rest day.  Plus, D is in the big city for training tomorrow night and I will want something to do.

Maybe I can address the 200 wedding invitations sitting on the counter....

Pita time!!
