I ran to school today. the wind was nasty just about the entire way, because it was blowing from the Northwest instead of the Southwest like normal. I ran 2 half mile repeats during the run. It is the last hard stuff I am running before the marathon on Saturday. The first repeat was a slight uphill, and into the wind (distance is approximate, maybe plus or minus 2-3 seconds) and I finished it in 2:35. The second repeat was in a flat area, but the wind felt stronger (again, the distance is approximate) and I finished it in 2:34. The second repeat was a lot harder than the first, so I imagine that either the wind was a lot stronger than the first repeat, or it was slightly longer. I finished running to school with a total time of 1:03:24. |
