Windy

Lots of marine traffic around the Keweenaw tonight.  It’s almost as much as the traffic on the Liminga Road during my run.

I decided to run down to the folks’ house and have Josh pick me up on his way home from work.  It’s all downhill, and I figured my legs would appreciate it after yesterday’s strength training session and my hill session from Monday.

As soon as I turned onto Liminga Road, I hit a very obnoxious headwind.  It was cold and generally unpleasant making the last two miles of my run also generally unpleasant.  My left knee started bugging me with just over a mile to go due to the outrageous camber in the road.  I know this is a no-no, but I ended up switching sides every quarter mile or so just to get some relief.  Next time, I’ll take an alternate route that gives me less time on that road.  My pace for the 4.25 miles was 10:14. Sorta speedy but that's my average pace and my first two speedy (downhill) miles made up for the slow (strong headwind) last two miles.

Today is National Running Day.

Yesssss.
