On paper, my splits are unimpressive for this run, but miles 8-12.5 were mostly head into the 20 mph wind. I ran around the perimeter of Rantoul, including some of the farmland around (Specchio's farm on the south end and Quinlan's farm--where we have our garden--on the north end). The last 2 ish miles were with the wind.
I'm tired.
Splits: 9:20, 9:23, 9:11, 9:23, 9:24, 9:16, 9:10, 9:26 (the first of many miles into the wind), 9:24, 9:08 (1/2 mile was heading east), 9:21, 9:45 (ugh), 9:14, 8:48, .75 @ 9:11 pace |
