AM- 38º More wind. Broke out gloves and a long sleeve shirt for this one. 8 Miles, slow. 

Afternoon- 60º Did I mention wind? Getting what I can in now. Heading to Oklahoma for work, will be in Tulsa the next few days so I will run when I can - maybe sandwiched in by really short ones. We will see.

Afternoon escape while in Tulsa. 73º, warm and windy. 2 mile warm up in some very dangerous side road runnung. Set off to do 6, 1 mile repeats, but conditions and trails did not lend to that as I eventually ended up a Turkey Hill here. Wow. There are trails and there are trails. I think Joe would like these. Mile 1 was a 6:50, but after that I hit the rocks and all bets were off. I just ran as hard as I could for that period.

I signed up for a smaller 5K at the request of some friends. I wanted some racing anyway so it wasn't like I did not want to do it anyway. At the beginning of the week I was thinking PR. After Thursday's flu/food episode I did not think I would make it at all. Well I showed up despite being weak, not much food in days and 0 miles since Wednesday. I thought if I could finish a minute slower than my PR I would be OK with that, and that is exactly what I did. Good temps at 57, BUT windy, raining and puddles took a bit away from the favorable temps. Splits: 6:28, 6:32, 6:50 (6:42 for .11) 

Now that I am home I am not feeling the best so maybe I should have rested instead, but I was happy to finish 1st even though it was a small field. I will put the gift cards to good use.
