Thoughts:
- Considering that I was running in an unfamiliar city and in unfavorable weather conditions, I was just happy to have finished the mileage. I did not realize until I typed this workout entry that I was to run an additional mile of cool-down.
- I am really struggling to run my MP. It's not that I can't run it. It's just that I fear I'm going to hit the wall so I delay it. Before I know it, my long run is over and done.
- The wind overwhelmed me today. I barely weigh 100 lbs. There were times when I could hardly move forward. When the wind was at my back, I could hardly stay on my feet. Happy though to have persisted!
- I fly home tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that I'll experience better weather conditions!
