beating the wind

it looked like such a great day, sun was out, temp was mid-60's, the perfect morning for a long(ish) run. that is, until i got out on the road and met...mr. wind. mr. wind is not my friend. here i thought i was running a great mile, long strides and fast pace. then i looked at my faithful garmin (which appears to have repaired itself by the way), only to find out that i was running at the same pace that i can typically walk. yikes! nevertheless, i made it 5 miles in an hour, felt good and enjoyed the experience. one month left until the next half, i need to really focus these next few weeks if i'm going to make it!
