This morning I went and worked a 5k that our church does to raise money for our inner city kids program. I didn't get back to the house until around 11 so had some lunch and decided to run later in the day since my wife and daughters are helping with a Fall Festival at the church.
It warmed up a little this afternoon but only about 50 and it was very windy with gusts up to 25 mph. Starting off I felt real good and had to hold back from going out too fast. Settled into a nice pace and tired to keep it steady most of the way. The wind was really tough. It felt like it was beating on me all the time. Just didn't feel like I ever got a break from it. Not sure if it was the wind or the accumulation of miles this week but I could really feel it in the legs starting around 16 miles. I didn't slow down any after this. I actually picked up the pace some but legs just felt really beat. I was glad to get this one in and felt good about the pace.
