I started off too fast--I need to work on negative splits. I haven't run in 5 days and I was worried about not making it. I planned on a 6 mile route I had run in the past and I am glad I thought about it beforehand--it made it harder for me to quit and pick a shorter route when I got started. At one point, I almost talked myself into running 3 miles, but I stuck with my route, which forced me to get the additional miles in.
The wind was brutal (25 mph)! I wondered if I was actually moving--the wind was blowing so hard.
I found this cool picture "Running against the wind" by Dale Wicks, please visit the artist's website here,

I love this picture. It looks just like me-red hair and all. My left groin area started hurting at mile 3 and is still a little achy--but I feel good. I needed to run today. Lately, I have been feeling like I have too much on my plate and I am a rubber band stretched all the way to the limit--running is my ME time.
No Ipod today--too many thoughts.
