Last weekend, I ran 12 miles for my long run. It was a really windy day, so I set my run up to run the first 6 miles into the wind. The last 6 miles, even though they were mostly uphill, were with the wind. It was a great plan and it worked out really well too.
When I started my run, I felt like I wasn't moving at all (winds were about 20 mph). I decided that since the wind was going to make forward progress feel difficult, I would try to move my feet fast. "Quick feet. Quick feet." I kept repeating it to myself. It was great! I felt light on my feet and finished the run at a much faster pace than I had hoped.
Quick feet.
It might just be my new mantra!
