Well, it looked like a beautiful day.  The sun was shining.  It was 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. So when I got home from my tennis match (which I lost and so did my team) and brunch with the team, I headed out for my long run.

I dressed similarly to yesterday.  But when I got out of the car to get gas,  I was freezing.  The wind was whipping and made it feel as cold as yesterday.

Change of plans.  I went home and added a windbreaker, thermal gloves and a winter hat. Since I was at home, I decided to run in my neighborhood. (and that also meant no Starbucks reward.)

The wind was gusting up to 30 mph and I could barely move forward.  Unfortunately, the first 3 miles of my run was into the wind and it really tired me out.  My legs were also tired from 2 hours of tennis and my 5K race yesterday.

I  opted to play it smart and not push it.  Instead of my planned 11 miles, I ran/walked 4 miles out and ran 4 miles back. So 3 yesterday plus 8 today will be my 11 mile run.

Next weekend is April.  Hopefully the wind will be gone and the warmer temps will be here. Only 4 weeks till my half marathon!!!

Happy Running!
