70F, south wind 21-34 mph.  Basically a preview of June temperatures today (with typical April winds).  Should get into the mid 90s this afternoon.

For the run, I started in the 8:20s and worked my way down to 7:20s.  AP was 7:53.  I was pretty happy with how I felt the whole time, given the temperature and the often ridiculous wind.  I don't think I could've broken 3:20 today but at least it wasn't as painful as I imagined.

That is ridiculous wind, it goes away after spring, right? Good run, you have one more before your taper, right?

Great mileage start of the week.....

I'm impressed with your handling of the wind. Good pace!

Flat - Yep, one more 20+ miler...maybe 22...next weekend. March and April are the worst months for wind here.

Thanks Tom!

Thanks Tracy, tried to keep the route mostly east/west but I had a few headwind miles in there that were SLOW.

Hey Turbo Joe,

I just want to let you know I bought an orange running shirt to wear in OKC since I liked yours in your profile picture so much :)
