The Santa Ana winds blew into town today and where my timing was good yesterday, today it could have been better. Since I hardly run over 800 meters and then usually as part of a Crossfit WOD, I could have waited for a cooler day. Today, the temperature was 82°F with only 4% humidity and gusty 14 mph + winds. Not that the Santa Anas had anything to do with one of my slowest 5K runs ever. 31:19. I was ok with it, though.

The good news is that I did not stop for any “back ache breaks” or spitting up junk. I also didn’t get hammered by my allergies either. The run was slow, but steady and done.

That slow time oughta get me out of having to do the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot Run with Val. I can go back to my customary role as her cheerleader and photographer. Fingers are crossed.
