CIM Training Week 5, Day 6: 8 Miles

"Hah! This run's going GREAT! Moving right along, look at that, Mile 1 just went by! Yup, my pace is good, I feel good, one of my better runs, in fact. Hi, dog #1. Oh, hi, dog #2. Glad to see you're running AWAY from me instead of AT me. Mile 2, Mile 3, whee! Mile 4's here, time to run around, and I... I... yaaa... aaahhhhhhhhh GAHHHHHH!! WIND!!!! NO, not the wind! Someone! Bleah, can't think! Must... continue... can't... stop... I stopped. Ok."

And so it went. Today was a great run, going fabulously, then I realized why: the wind was at my back. The second I turned around at 4 miles, it was like running through mashed potatoes. No, not mashed potatoes, more like pudding. Sticky, gooey pudding. Then halfway through Mile 7, the phone rang, which gave me an excuse to walk again.
