1100 Miles in 2011 - Run 11

Sunny and 55 degrees.  The conditions were perfect except for the 25 mph sustained headwinds we faced once we reached the Hudson River. After we finished the run I researched the impact that a headwind has on a run, and a 10 mph wind apparently increases the effort required by 7-8%. With a 25 mph sustained headwind that is an increase of about 17.5%. So even though we only ran 7.5 miles, it had the effect of 8.88 miles!
