Sooooooo windy! When running into the wind it literally stopped me in my tracks a few times. I was almost blown over a couple of times when it was a cross wind. Once I had the wind at my back and had a slight down hill my achilles started to really hurt. It was strange because I had zero pain for the first 7 miles and it all of a sudden started hurting significantly. Once I hit 9 miles I made the decision to turn towards home and cut the planned 14 miler short. I'm not surprised it hurt. I was more surprised that it felt so good during the first half of the run. I had 2 solid runs in a row so I was due for a tough one. |
