today's run

today's run was a bitch.

it worked out to be 6.44km which is less than what i usually do on weekends, but today for some reason was very difficult.  what made it difficult was the concrete running i think, as well as the gusty west/northwest wind.  i chose to run east first to avoid the wind, but likely put myself into it more in the last half.

the first 3km or so were pretty good.  my back was to the wind.  hands were cold, but manageable.  in the middle of the run, there were 2 significant inclines which brought me misery, both of which were headwinds.  not pleasant whatsoever.

the last stretch was flat and relatively wind free.  at one point the sun came out and i was actually hot.

the distance wasnt so bad...it was the hills and the wind. 

not feeling too bad though...a little tired, but otherwise happy i hauled my ass out of bed!
