Taunya, my coworker and old running buddy from four years ago asked me to join her and Jessica on their last 20 miler before Boston. My first 20 miler since a year ago (not including the three marathons I ran). I figured since they were planning to go about 8:15ap it would be good for me. BUT HELLOOOOO wind!!!! We left at 8:48am and still the wind was ferocious. Comical at times. And Highland had a few inches of snow dumped on them. BRRRrrr!!! We first ran a 9.25 mile very hilly loop and came back to Taunyas for a water stop. No stopping entire 9 miles. AP 8:15 here. Started watches again after 5 minutes in Taunya's house. Starting again was tough. Achy old bones. Taunya is 45 and Jessica and I are 44 so we could all relate to aches and creaks. We ran a second 11 mile loop into Alpine. That nice hilly route. Not nice to have such a brutal headwind then side wind and then "hey why the crosswind coming back???". When your gone for that long the wind likes to "hunt" you down : D. Surely 30 mph winds the entire run. Stopped about 3 minutes at Eternal fountain (mile 15.25) and we were on our home stretch. AP for entire 20.3 miles = 8:09. Last mile 7:39 our only mile that quick. All others between 7:50 and 8:32. Last 0.3 miles 6:43 pace. : D. The only extent of a push in this run. We were all just trying to have a nice attitude about the wind.

I met and ran a little with Jessica and I think I saw Taunya too at the LC a few weeks ago, and she mentioned she knew you. She's so nice, and speedy, too! Nice job getting out there when most (including me) were comfortably in bed. :-)

The wind sounds absolutely miserable! Glad you had company because otherwise I'm sure it would have been even worse.

Good job my friend!
