This was a completely miserable run. I had my husband drop me off at Mountain Dell golf course with the plan to run down Emigration, then Sunnyside, on to Liberty Park, then home. The first 2 miles or so were pleasant. I settled into a slow, but steady pace on the climb. But when I turned onto the canyon road, I was hit in the face with a serious wind. Like Wyoming windy. And the wind was relentless, it basically didn't stop until I hit Liberty. My pace running downhill was so slow because of the wind and it felt so hard. By the time I reached the zoo at mile 12, I was mentally drained. I was so sick of fighting the wind. I had a breakdown, started crying, and did a walk of shame down Sunnyside. Then I basically alternated running with feeling sorry for myself and walking the rest of the way home. I stopped at Cafe Espresso for a huge iced latte to soothe myself and walked the last bit home. So glad this week is over.
