Windy

Although temps this afternoon were more seasonable, the wind was brutal. It felt more like mid-winter than spring out there. In an attempt to hide from said wind, I decided to head to the Commons for this afternoon's run. I parked at the field house and headed out. Some of the early single track, especially a stretch along a steep side hill, was glare ice - treacherous even in screw shoes. The rest of the run was a mix of packed snow in the shade, ice, mush, slush, mashed potatoes, ice with water on top and a bit of bare ground. The legs didn't have much turnover, but it was good to get out, even if it was at a slow pace.

In other news, we headed to Peak Performance in Portland this evening before dinner to replenish our stock of Hammer products. Gel, HEED and a new one to add to the rotation - Sustained Energy. Who was it that said running was an inexpensive sport?!
