Kansas Wind

This week I'm in Kansas at my parents' house, and wow, has it been windy. The wind has been constant the past couple of days, 20+ mph with higher gusts, but I decided I was going to run today regardless. And in spite of the wind I had a really good run. There was no way I could plan my route to get in 6 miles beforehand, so I ran the streets north/south and east/west to get in all the distance I wanted. At one point the wind pushed me from behind, giving me a nice boost in pace. When all was said and done I'd finished at a 9:25 pace, which I feel is pretty good for a regular run with a lot of it against the wind. Hopefully it won't be that bad for the next run, but if it is at least I'm prepared.
