Attitude:
Self talk summary: "I HATE THE WIND!  CURSE YOU KNEES!"  My body really hated me today.  A storm was rolling in so there was a lot of wind.  I knew I was in trouble when I was easily keeping a 20 mph pace on the way out on the bike.  That meant I had the wind at my back.  The way back was painful.  I lost my gusto, the wind was whipping against me slowing my pace down to a crawl.  My left knee really started aching on the return trip.  I think I'm going to take a visit to Clyde and see if I have an alignment issue that can be fixed.  Having pain in my knees continues to be discouraging.  My new saddle is causing some discomfort in my sit bones from the decreased padding.  I'm told my body will adjust to this in time.

I decided to take it easy on the run afterwards because I was already exhausted and I want to rest my legs for the Run for the Gecko 5K tomorrow.  Back to my normal 9 minute pace.  Breathing was light as far as running goes.  I was happy to see a new duck family in one of the creeks in the neighborhood.
