great Kansas Run 12.45 km 01:23 10:42 pace

I was just running for fun today....no expectations for time or distance, just wanted to feel great and get out there. I did feel so great, in fact, that I ended up running my 8 mile route. (just going with the google earth distance although I'm pretty sure it's further.) Felt amazing! I definitely did not plan to go this far, and did not prepare well enough for the insane winds. My legs got really wind burned/chaffed and were really raw by about 6 mile, so the last two were painful. In spite of the winds and stuff, I was rockin' out to Metallica and loving every minute! (Can you still call it a Zen run if you are listening to Metallica!? haha...) I call this my Kansas run because if I closed my eyes it took me back to the dirt roads in Kansas with the wind in my face nearly blowing me over!!!! =)...I was actually faster than Sunday's run, so that was quite surprising......Definitely felt great to have those three days of rest!!! (And I think my body just fought off the bug because I feel so much better now!!)

    Well here in Kansas we've got 20+ mph winds blowing SNOW!... I had planned 12 mi outside today... guess I'll do 6-8 on the dreadmill. ;)

    Okay, so should I clarify and say it feels like a summer day in Kansas? (minus the incredible heat...) Sorry about the blowing snow, that sucks...As much as I love Kansas the weather is quite extreme for my taste! (Especially the tornado season! ha)..Good luck on the TM

    Terrific run, Teniah, and glad it felt good (besides the chaffing)! Sounds like some good resistance training with the winds too.
