Another good running day, at least performance wise. The lovely Nebraska weather responded to my praise from yesterday with much colder temps and a brisk 20-30 mph north wind today. Aided by a new 'wind proof' jacket, I none the less took off for my 4 miler just before lunch.
Once again I was heading out from work, so I started down my casino route. Once over the bridge however, I realized that I really had no desire to have my return trip directed into the wind, so instead I headed north.
The tree-line along the trail heading north turned out to be a saving grace; blocking almost all of the wind from that portion of my run. I got into a very nice rhythm and honestly had a hard time convincing myself to turn around. So, as it turns out, my 4 miler ended up as a 5.5 miler.
Thursday: Before lunch, across pedestrian bridge, north to the old creepy rail-road bridge and back. 5.5 miles, 9:18 min/mile average at 153 bpm.
