Went out with Kim around 11am. Fairly nice day, sunny in the low 30's.  Ran with Kim just shy of 3 miles then she turned around while I did a tempo run.  Plan was for 4-6 miles @ 6:40-6:50. But Mother Nature decided to give me a head wind most of the whole way so I slowed my goal pace to 6:45-7:00. 

Dang wind made it harder than I wanted but I was happy to get in 5 miles and keep them (barely) under 7 min pace. 

Splits/aveHR: 6:51/162, 6:55/179, 6:59/183, 6:56/186, 6:51/189.

Overall: 7:39/161/190max

You're a good man to do a little speed work into the wind. I don't mind the wind if I don't care how fast I'm running.

Great workout!

Yeah the dang wind seems to mess with me mentally about as much as anything. Doesn't matter what speed I'm running I just don't like it so much.
