Comments: I decided that 10 miles would be good for this week's long run. It's a good baseline distance I should be able to do regularly without beating my legs up too bad. Under ideal conditions, anyway.
Today wasn't ideal conditions. It was damn chilly this morning -- dropped back into the 30s -- but the wind that has been blowing for almost a week refuses to let up. I had a 20+ mph headwind the whole first half of this run and it was absolutely miserable.
Obviously, I had that pushing me on the second half but my legs were pretty worn down at that point. Still, I finished it in under 100 minutes which was my goal.
