Random ramblings
Weather here has been cool. I know a lot of people have been complaining, but it's been great for my long runs. I can run in mid-afternoon without worrying about getting too hot.

The wind on the other hand, is an entirely different issue. I know there are some places on the coast where 50kph winds are normal. But here, they are strong. I headed out to Bird's Hill P.P. last Sunday to see if the modifications I made to my bike help me out any. The results are inconclusive due to the strong winds that seem to always blow against you. If I was able to cut down through the wind more, I probably would have been able to see a difference. Hmmmmmm, maybe drop bars?

On a related note to biking, I've officially had it with running my long runs without any food. From now on, I'm bringing Gu along. I've tried a few other gels and things like that, but the Chocolate Outrage Gu seems to please me the most. Maybe I won't hit the wall at mile 16 and get the worse hunger in the world. It's really odd that you get so hungry so fast. I start looking at the twigs, leaves, and moss on the ground, wondering if any of them are edible. Keep hoping to find some Happy Meal(c) that somebody bought, decided not to eat, and left on the ground for the next hungry runner to joyously partake in.
