a windy way to start the day
i bundled up and headed out with temps in the mid-30’s and a gusty wind whipping the fallen leaves around the neighborhood. my route took me up university avenue past UW-W, which includes a few significant hills to climb. i made the turn for home at 3.5 miles with a little more than 30 minutes ticked off the stopwatch. rolling home, i had the benefit of a tailwind and a net elevation drop that got me home in a little more than 28 minutes.
so far this month i’ve mustered 30 miles, which puts me roughly on pace to get 2000 miles for the year. i’ll need to start doing a long run on the weekend again, which will make it much easier to tally the miles rather than the 5-7 mile efforts that i end up with during the week.
