Comments: The plan today was to get back-to-back runs in this week. The other goal was to try the trail along the Trinity River which I recalled as being pretty straight and flat. It's been a few years so I needed some reconnaissance before making it a permanent part of my running schedule.
The good news is the trail was pretty much as I recalled. The bad news is I forgot what a battle running it in Texas-style wind could be. I had to work a lot harder than I expected for what I thought was going to be a straightforward effort. Since this was an "extra" run this week, I chose to cut it short at the halfway point and chalk it up to experience.
