Windy run (April 22nd 2007)

Todays run in Owasso was a 8 mile run.  The conditions of the run were extremely windy.  When running into the wind I try to think of myself as a triangle wedge.  I think of the wind easily moving around.  It helps me easily move through the wind.  The most annoying thing is just the sound of the wind moving past my ears.  It's a tearing sound that gets quite annoying.  I've ran the 8 mile loop many times before.  It's kind of a drab route which takes me through a neighborhood park around 145th and 86th St N.

The conditions were too windy for a double footy shot.  I took it while on a bridge in the neighborhood park.  The park never has much traffic.  Most of the park patrons are walkers.  It's rare to see a runner.  I've got my eye out for other Owasso runners.

Lately I've been switching my shoe choice between a Saucony Triumph and the Asics Cumulus.  The AC is my main shoe.  It's more flexible than the ST.  However, the ST I have is an older version.  It has more cushion than the AC, but lacks flexibility.  The newer ST has more flexibility, but is more expensive when compared to the AC.  I'm also in the process of acquiring a Garmin Forerunner 205.  It's a better deal to attain one on ebay.  I had a Forerunner 201, but it stopped working for some reason.  I've been pleased with the 201.  The 205 is smaller, but has the same features. Most areas in Owasso and Tulsa are nice cause the sections are in square miles. A GPS device is nice if you want to run through neighborhoods or areas which aren't in perfect square sections or mapped with markers.
