Windy and Whooshy

Kinda breezy out there tonight, but it wasn't cold at all. I was watching the temperature drop late in the afternoon, but that fall has stalled. Nice.

I ran the 10 km loop down to Crowchild again. Lots of dust and detritus in the air. It would be nice to be able to breath hard through the nose, but the best I could do was time inhales between gusts. Naw, it wasn't really that bad.

A few other runners, lotsa bikers. Even with the warmer weather, no one makes eye contact. A couple of runners did, but they are a tiny minority. It's much different running at noon downtown, or on the weekends.

The runs lately have been great. For the most part, I've been feeling really good out there. Tonight continues that, so much that I've been thinking of getting back into a race or two.

Distance: 10.21 km. Time: 56:20.
Average speed: 10.9 kph (5:31 min/km).

Shoes: New Balance 1061.

Weather: Cloudy and 10C with a 41 km wind gusting to 58 km.
