    Day 324 | Running in the Wind

    Today was a crisp and windy day. The forecast called for the winds to pick up in the afternoon so I made sure to get going before noon. I didn’t have clear plan. I thought I would run somewhere between 3 and 8 miles. That sounds pretty silly but I just hadn’t given it much […]
