14 Miles In The Wind

14 miles up at the lake, 70F out, 30+mph winds. Ran a figure 8 around the meadows loop 3 times, adding in an out and back on the spur each loop to get a bit more distance. Decent run, was pretty tired by the end. 2:24:53 total time, 10:20 pace, 159 average heart rate. Splits of 10:31, 9:50, 10:13, 10:26, 10:19, 10:05, 10:19, 10:15, 11:20 (shot blok mile), 10:13, 10:14, 10:17, 10:21 and 10:23. My leg muscles were not really sore when I was done, but my legs were very tired all over - I think running in the wind mixed up my stride quite a bit. Was a tough run, but overall felt pretty good, the last 2 miles it was more work to maintain my pace, but I was able to do it.
