Still windy!! : 9 miles

The wind has not let up for the last 5 days now. The calmest time is first thing in the morning. I have also found that if I go about 2-3 miles east of my house that there can be little to no wind. I did that today but it did not work. It was windy even in Lancaster and Palmdale. I ended up running through each on my 9 mile loop. Total time was 1:10:30 (avg pace 7:50).

Here is some video from our house this week.

The quote below was on my day calendar today and it reminded me of my sister. I remember when Pres. Bush said this and we thought it was hilarious.

“I do not like broccoli. I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m president of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.”—George H. W. Bush

"Cho-pin-bra-co-li"
Now go eat your vegetables!

Wow, nice video. I remember the wind being bad out there running this week, but it didn't seem THAT bad!

My Dad was telling me that Tucson got winds of 50 mph recently. I said HA, that's a usual afternoon in Quartz Hill. If we were on the coast we would get regular hurricane news coverage.
Remember June is the windy month in the AV. Come July you will be begging for wind. -Clay
