Early morning run with the girls. It was a windy day from the SW so we decided to run a little longer into the wind to get it out of the way. I was really struggling into the wind, but kept going. Kristin even commented that she didn't think I'd make it. We ended up doing 5 miles total. Turns out that first 2 miles we were running at an 8:28 pace...no wonder why I was struggling---that fast and into the wind, wow! The whole 5 miles turned out to be an average of 8:45 pace--that's a fast one today.
