Still trying to catch up on sleep so got out later than planned today.  I'm not sure what the temp was when I started but it was 71 when I got home.  It was a beautiful sunny but windy day.  I felt good starting out and just crusied along.  I ran out and back along 300 S and it was one of those days where you feel like you are running into the wind the whole way.  It was coming from the side but always felt like it was quartering into me.  I ran into my neighbor riding his bike around 10  and slowed down and talked with him for about a mile.  After that I picked it up for a couple of miles but then I started feeling tired so slowed back down to easy pace.  I felt like the wind just finally wore me down plus I know that my endurance is not where it needs to be so I will keep working on that.  I was glad to get in a longer run and I think this may be my longest run so far this year which is not good.  Now off to do some yard work.

That wind can be so wearing. Great job on getting in a good long run. Enjoy your yard work (if at all possible).
