Windy today, even for west TX.  EZ run and still negative split despite 34 mph wind differential on the out and back (17:13, 17:09) with 17 mph in the face coming home.  I gotta find an E-W road...  8:36 average.

Windy again so I charted a 4.0 on MapMyRun and ran the east-west roads in the neighborhood.  Ran last half mile at 7:00 pace.  32:32 overall, 8:08 pace.

Ran Cargill Park in Longview again.  It's a 3-mile track with markers every 1/4 mile but about 30 seconds after the 2.75 mark it runs into a highway and there's a convoluted sign telling you how to find the 3-mile mark so I turned around there for a 5.6 instead of the planned 6.  Good enough.  Did it in 45:33, or an 8:08 average after factoring in the last 2 miles in a quick (for me) 15:30.  First 20-mile week for me as well.

Weekly mileage: 21.6
