AM: (10 miles, 1:29:08) 8 x 100m strides. A little long, but not quite 11 miles. ... I ran with Dean for about 30 mins and then he turned around and I ran on a trail for a while. It was so windy here today - actually right in front of Deans Mom's condo the wind is probably blowing about 40 mph -- because she is right on the beach -- but once you get to the main road it was much less (though still really windy). Despite the fact that Dean gives me a hard time about running slow but there were mile markers on the road and I was going about 8:10 pace on the way back (with a tailwind) - I would estimate we were running about 845-8:50 on the way out (which is fast for me).
When I got out into the trail I just knew that I was going to lose a leg to a 'gator -- there are a bunch of them (though I did not see any today). Weird being back in the south -- I missed the accents more than I thought.
PM: (easy 4 - maybe on the treadmill if I don't feel like braving the wind again).
Ok ... have to go get ready for hours of Eucher (those of you from the midwest know what I am talking about!).
