Wind advisory? 20-30 mile per hour winds with gusts up to 50 miles per hour? Trees crackling. Branches falling and blowing at your face. Leaves circling your head. Nah....not enough to stop a long trail run.
After a 3 1/2 mile warm-up with Eric and David, Peter H. swung by Rockefeller for a long run of his own. Training for triathlons, Peter has a coach that prescribed some sort of masochist training run (at least by my standards), with a 9 min/mile pace for the first 8 or so, and an 8:40 min/mile pace for the last 7. I really wasn't interested (at first), but what the heck. I ended up with 18.5 wind-blown, hilly miles. Here are some pictures from the run, as well as a short video that provides a nice sampling of the winds.
