Sunday is generally set aside for longer runs but a very late night backstage at My Fair Lady left me with no energy so I settled for a shorter distance at a quicker pace.

I managed to squeeze a 5 mile run into my schedule was Kristoffer was at dance rehearsal. Picked up the pace quite a bit for the last 3 miles so I hope I am not too sore tomorrow.

I somehow grabbed the wrong shoes while gathering my running gear and had to run in my older 1140s. They are the shoes I was wearing when my achilles tendon issues came into force so I kept my pace and distance in check.

The wind proved much stronger than my legs and my planned 3 miler got cut to a 2 mile jog. Running into the 25+ mph wind was straining the body too much as evidenced by the fact that I developed a stitch in my side before I finished the first mile. Hopefully Friday's conditions will be a bit more hospitable.

Pushed my way through a 7 mile jog. The wind had slowed to a stout breeze but nowhere near the gales we had yesterday. I had to stop a few times but think that had more to do with the recent increased temperatures than any other factor.
