This was one of the most unpleasant runs I've done in a long time. Clear but cold and right in the middle of a wind warning. And where did we meet? Cook & Dallas Rd. 25 minute warm-up, then 8 x 800 (approximately), with 600 "steady" and 200 "easy". I put those in quotation marks because the wind was so bad, there was no difference. The whole run was really "keep moving forward", with the wind trying to stop me, then knock me sideways, turn around and be knocked the other way, and then a tailwind for what was supposed to be the "easy" part.
Once again, everyone else was finished when I still had one lap to go. Found that even more annoying than before because the wind made me so crabby. Then I had to run to finish up the time, which was probably the best part, because I ran on the streets away from the water.
