20 miles

Distance: 20 miles
Time 3:14:44

Today's run was 50% brutal. When I started out it was a beautiful morning - sunshine, blue sky etc. - apart from one thing: the wind. My long run route is essentially out and back and today I had the misfortune of turning at 10 miles straight back into the teeth of a gale. The gusts were strong enough in parts to make progress difficult and I dropped a full 8 minutes on the inward half. The last two miles were done on tired, tired legs and I think if I ever meet wind like that in a marathon I'll cry.

Nicely done. Wind tunnel training...there's nothing like it. Train harder than you race.
