Met with Sasha for 10 mile MP tempo on Provo River Trail. Warm up 2 miles and then hit tempo miles as follows. I knew it was going to be rough as the wind was really blowing hard. Hard enough to knock me off stride every once in awhile. Overall time was 62:32. Splits were:

6:03 (a bit on the fast side but felt easier)

6:11

6:13

6:14

6:24

Besides fighting the wind this was about MP effort, I guess. It is hard to tell with the wind. I really do not like the wind as I struggle more mentally than anything else. I would rather run in the rain and cold than the wind!

Thanks for the comment. It will all depend on whether I have the gas tank and if God allows it. Big maybe... But I am in good shape so we will see.
