Woke up, took the pup for a walk and then headed out for my run. It was a nice cool morning, but a little breezy. However, my legs were still tired from the weekend so I wasn’t able to do the tempo run I’d planned. Therefore, I set my sights on an MGP run. Alas even that was out of reach. I just couldn’t generate enough leg speed. However, I felt good aerobically but the pace wasn’t there. When I turned (south) for home I suddenly felt a lot better and the past few miles were close to MGP pace. Once I got home, I turned on the radio and figured out what the program was. There was a NNW wind of 15-20 MPH…and I’d spent the first 5 mile running straight into it ;o). I reckon that has to worth at least 10-15 second per mile. |
