Noon time run to try and take advantage of warming temps, but with the wind still howling out of the NW it was still cold. Ran an out and back on the Pt Mallard trail continueing on the bike path close to the 6th Av overpass on market street. Once I got away from the wooded trail and on the bike path the wind made itself known as I was running straight into it for 3+ miles. But I knew as soon as I hit 6 miles I could turn and let it push me back to the park. I was feeling a little sluggish from yesterdays runs so I was just trying to maintain 8 min pace. Thanks to the tail wind I was able to neg split the last 6. I did a lot of brainstorming to think of some way the River City Runners could memorialize Gina, her visitation was tonight and funeral tomorrow, Kelly and I were both able to get off work so we can attend. 1:34:23/7:52
