Today was a beautiful day.
The sun was out and the temperature was in the upper 70’s. I was excited for my run tonight. I thought, it would be ideal weather. I was wrong.
As soon as I got outside, I noticed the wind and could see sand and dust
blowing.
I took my hat off and attached it to my fanny pack. I have run in this kind of weather before,
but the last few times it was during the day. It was easier when I wore sunglasses to protect my eyes. Not tonight, I could feel the sand hitting my
face and eyes.
After about a mile in, the wind calmed down and I decided to
push on to do 4 miles rather than 3. Right after the halfway point, I noticed two
guys out running far ahead. I decided to
make a game out of and see if I could catch them. I came close and I got within a few tenths of
a mile, but near the end of the run, they turned right while I turned left to
go home.
There is always next time.
