The weather stays crazy here. During Sunday's morning run, it was in the upper 40s with no wind and no clouds, sunny and bright. Scott Wells, Mike Slade and I did a little under 9 miles (even though I was scheduled to go only 7, it was all Slade's fault - I wanted to stop at the bottom of the hill, around a mile from home but slave-driver Slade FORCED me to run up the hill and into the neighborhood).
Monday was an off day (no running, no exercise at all) while yesterday was in the high 60s but with 40-50 mph winds. The run yesterday was supposed to be a short one - 3 miles - and the first two miles, down hill and with a gusting tailwind, went well (duh). At the turn around, I started on the uphill, into-the-wind portion and truthfully, gave up about a half mile in. The wind forced me to a crawl, the hill go the best of me, and I felt like crap. I walked home.
The wind today has moderated to around 20 mph with temps in the upper 60s again. Overcast and damp is ok, cold and damp is not. Today is a 5 miler. Let's see how that goes.

I think March is the hardest month for running. The change of seasons manifests in wind like no other time of year. Always glad when April arrives--it's milder but more important, it's still.
