WINDY! At least windier than I'm used to 10-20 mph winds along the coast this morning. Was leaving for home today so I started before the sun rose. First 5 miles were into the wind and sapped me of energy. The last 4 miles were rough and I felt like I was gonna hurl when I finished. This went away pretty quickly though after drinking some water.

I had my fuel belt and 1 small bottle of Gatorade today. No Gu energy Gel or trail mix to snack along the way. Really humid, as a storm was rolling in too. Ran from Gulf Shores into Orange Beach past the new high rise condo being built. Loved listening to the surf on this trip. Very soothing!

Speedwork. AP 8:43

Still struggling with a cold but at least it hasn't reached my chest, thankfully. 1 mile warm up at 10:00, then 1 mile fast followed by 800 meter jogs on the track at OMHS. fast miles were 7:34 and 7:39. 800 meters in between and then .6 at 7:40 pace. Felt gassed afterwards.

This was the first time trying this workout so I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed it. I'll do this again after a week or two!

AP 8:45. Dropped off the daughter late this morning but still wanted to get in a few miles before work. Legs felt OK after yesterday's workout.
