Windy and Wet - 9 miles (772 total)

9.25 miles (MotionBased link)
1:15:53
8:12 pace

Rough run today - windy, blustery, rainy; temp in upper 30's. Legs were hurting more than Monday - about a 6 on my imaginary 10-point scale. Felt like I was breathing harder even while going noticeably more slow, but could not speed up much. Some days are just more difficult than others.

I think I've reached a plateau in terms of distance and speed. Haven't made any real progress in a couple of months, and in fact have slowed down. Hopefully my leg issues will resolve themselves before long and I'll be able to make some improvement in the spring. Once I pass the 1000-mile mark I will feel more free to vary the training and not focus so much on racking up the miles.
