I don't always buy this wind chill crap but it proved me wrong today. The wind didn't feel too bad when we started out but it got worse and worse as we were running uphill to the turn around point. I did not enjoy the first half of the run and I'm surprised Chris M. did just leave my grumpy ass. I seriously wouldn't have made it had I not had him there to mock me if I quit. It got much better once we turned around and I ended up enjoying the second half. One of the toughest runs I've ever done but it feels good to have it conquered it.

    Nice job hanging tough in the cold and wind! I think the beer we had last night helped too.

    Serious high five Heather not only for an awesome run today, but spending 3 hours in brutal elements. Hilarious to think that 20 degrees isn't so bad when you've been running in an 8 degree wind chill. Downright toasty. :)

    Heather, that's a hell of a run. Here I was kvetching about my "long" run - 12 miles, and you just kicked ass, put in your 20, and got 'er done. Woot!
