I hate the wind
Distance: 6.5 miles
Time: 55:45
Pace: 8:35/mi
The weather's still awful here but I couldn't face another treadmill session so ventured outside. Because it was so gusty I just concentrated on keeping a steady rhythm and didn't pay any attention to the watch.
For the week that gives:
Monday: rest
Tuesday: 4
Wednesday: 6
Thursday: rest
Friday: 6
Saturday: rest
Sunday: 6.5
Total: 22.5
Next week I'll turn the 4 miler into a semi-long run, which should take me to 30-ish miles for the week. The following week I think I'll cut the mileage back a little since I'll have had 4 weeks consecutive increases (albeit very small ones). That'll take me to the beginning of February, and I think I'll begin a period of base training then, starting from 35 miles a week off 5 runs. I'll draw up a provisional training schedule shortly.

The wind will only make you stronger, at least that’s what I tell myself when I head out. Good for you for getting off the dreadmill, it’ll make races under similar conditions seem that much easier. Looks like your running is progressing nicely.
boo for the treadmill! bravo though for braving the elements!
