Not making it easy…
The weather gods are officially against me! The last 3 weekends we have had some tough weather for our long runs. This weekend we postponed our run from Saturday until Sunday because of predicted rain. The weather on Sunday was sunnier, but REALLY windy. It was also a very hilly route. At times, between running up a steep hill and facing a strong head wind, I literally felt like I was running in place! But I did it! I ran 20 miles and felt good – well as good as I could feel after running 20 hilly miles in the wind. But I felt strong, which is a good sign for training. Next Sunday is a 1/2 marathon race, so kind of break in mileage. Hopefully the weather gods will cut us a break next weekend!
