Notes:

• The theme of this week was WIND! All of my runs were windy. The wind irritated me during all of them. I know this is typical weather here, I’m just sick of hearing the wind in my ears, and feeling it pushing me around. Maybe I’ll get a break soon.
• Now that I have a new phone, I can start using Glympse again with Steven so he knows where the hell I am when I’m running (we don’t use find my friends or whatever that creepy app is called). I wasn’t using it before because it would drain my phone too much, but that is no longer an issue. Yay, safety!
• I got to run with Anne on Friday, yay! I/m so glad she came in early for her race and we got to hang out. And have a cold and windy run together, aww.
• I skipped intervals this week. See here and bullet #1 above. Ha.

   That’s great that he knows where you are when you are out running. The only time I worry is when I’m on trails but I don’t have any phone coverage when I’m in the mountains anyway!

     Yeah, I feel better when he knows, even though I feel safe!

     Hmm, what are we supposed to do on the remote trails? Let someone know our exact route and expected return time and hope for the best?!
