This is probably the craziest run I've ever done. I had to install some security patches at work on Friday night at 9pm and it took us till 1:15am to finish. I drove home and thought that if I ran on the treadmill now then I would be able to sleep-in and not have to run in the morning on limited sleep (I don't like running in the afternoon on Saturday's to take away time from my family). Well I ran 11.4 miles on the treadmill in 1:15. I probably will run again today with my wife. I would have ran to work and ran home except we had 40 to 60mph continuous wind, and raining raining raining real hard. This is no joke 40 to 60mph incredible. You could hear the wind blow inside my office. Afternoon: What an afternoon run with my wife. We drove two miles out in two cars and parked the one and drove back home and was going to run to the parked car at Lowes. We did this so my wife could run in a tailwind vs a 25mph headwind. Well needless to say the wind changed directions, and it started snowing. Most of the two miles was in a headwind. The wind was circling around blowing from SW like a crosswind. The run was a hard run and you couldn't see very good because of the heavy snow coming down. Once we got to the car it was locked so we headed back home, and I took my wife on a shortcut back to the house. It was a muddy trail but it took off a half mile. We both just laughed about the run. What started out to be an easy run for my wife was probably the coldest, very windy, very snowy run that she has ever done, and the hardest too. I ran ahead about .5 to get to the truck to get there faster because my wife was getting cold. I ranged between 6:00 - 5:40 for .5. What a funny experience and I'm glad we could do it together.
