I got lucky...kind of. I missed an absolute deluge of rain, but I did have to deal with some pretty stiff winds.

The workout was 2x2M @ 10:10 on 3:00 rest. To be honest, this shouldn't be that hard, but with such a stinker of a workout at the Dempsey last week, and with the windy day we had today, I was dubious.

First rep was in 10:04. Nicely done. It was easily sub five if you factor out the wind.

Second rep was 10:10. The final mile was exhausting as the wind seemed to be a huge factor. But I stayed tough and battled through to a target finish.

Managed to beat the rain today but not the wind. Workout was 10M easy followed by 5M at marathon pace followed by 7M easy. I'm convinced that this is one of the hardest things to do. I hit all five miles at pace but whenever i do these, it seems like it's harder to run the middle miles at pace than it is to run all of them at that pace.

Good first track meet for my team. Brings back some great memories from high school.
