75F, S 22-31 mph.  Getting a little tired of the wind.  I have to go at least 2.5 miles north or south to get to an eastbound road out of town but once I get eastbound the wind isn't so bad.  I just have to decide when I want to suffer through the headwind part each morning.

8:04 AP today, with 5 x 0.1 mile pickups on the way home.  I will slowly start working in more through the summer (probably with plenty of rest like today) to try and build some speed and strength.  Then transition to more LT stuff and tempos when it starts to get cooler.

Ouch, I had the same wind today. My only problem was I had to run at 3:00 pm. It was 95 degrees.

Burt - that was short-lived, wasn't it

April - good, maybe I'm doing something right

Dale - anyone running in Texas during the summer must suffer a little

IJR - sounds really painful
