Ran 2.51 with Jolynn and Paula in the wind.  

Ran 1.60 with Paula in the wind.

Ran 1.64 by myself  in the wind.

I hate running in the wind.  We stayed on mostly and East / West route to avoid as much wind as possible.  The last part by myself had a some headwind as I went south.  My body felt pretty good today.

I had a migrane last night I think due to hydration issues.  I drank the normal amount when I got back from running but then spent 4 hrs outside working in the yard and cleaning up and I did not drink enough to compensate for that.  It was one of the worst I have had in a long time.  I need to remember this as the weather gets warmer.

Oh I am so sorry about the migraine! I'm gonna go drink even MORE water right now, in your honor. And I will also abstain from yardwork (not that I would've actually done it anyway.) 4 hours of yardwork! What a tough cookie!

I've also been noticing that I am needing more water. We'll have to keep that in mind! Way to run the whole thing with that wind partner! What can we do, but smile and push a bit harder into the wind! I'll bet your yard is looking great! Isn't it fun to see the green grass and the blossoms?!

You are better than me. I hate running in the wind. Your miles are getting back up there. Great job! I'm not going to do the Hurricane 1/2. I was planning on going to the BYU track meet with my husband but then I found out my daughters best friend is having her birthday party friday night plus our stake is have a fun festival day saturday. Free bounce houses, slide, games... Our ward is in charge of bringing salads, and the primary is going to sing.

Nice run & fitting in some yard work lately too! This is the windiest year ever, isn't it? Drink up, no more migraines! (I'm w/ Lybi, you have taught me to abstain from yardwork.. hee hee)

Linda- can I be in your ward? What a fun stake festival planned... I'll be torturing myself in Hurricane!

Hope you are feeling better.. and Sweet job with all that wind running! Must have felt like you weighed 200 pounds or something !

I ran into some serious wind on my run today, made me think of you. Hope you're having a good day & no headache!

Jody, the wind, big time chance for commando points running against the wind, Bob Seager and myself would give you major commando points.
