After working at the store today I went back over to the W&OD Trail where it leaves Vienna, aka where I had my 5-mile run that died a hideous death on Thursday. It’s funny, this one was actually 6 seconds per mile slower, but I consider it far better. Not because there was a 6th mile, but rather because I had a much more consistant pace; there wasn’t a faster first two miles followed by a bad flameout this time. Especially since I held the pace pretty well for the entire second half, which is uphill.

Temperature was much different, though; it’s very windy and cold out (54 degrees? really???) and I actually put on a second layer because that wind was chilling me to my bones. For parts I felt a little buffeted around on the trail… oof.
