13mi, 1:22:30ish (wkout): 26min WU to Nicollet Island. 4xmile in 5:18, :22, :19, :25. 33:30 CD. Recovered 73s, 72s and 85s. Did mine about 3 or 4 hours after Biz did his. First two felt pretty smooth and controlled, but compensating for extreme wind caught up with me midway through the third and I was at what felt like a molasses top-end on the fourth. Spent some time clutching my knees before heading home. Tough wkout on a tough day. Biz didn't explain that the wind, somehow, managed to be in your face much more than it's not (including during the entire last 1/2mi) even though this is a loop. May it take your troubles away.

10+ (1:21:33, yeah what's it to you?) Str8 Shot Extended. Well, turns out there's still some wind and some ice/snow stuff on the ground. Ran down to the river, plus about a mile and then headed back the same way. The way down (tailwind and downhill) was at about 7:45 pace, and the way back up was closer to 8 min pace. Not really pushing very hard, but the effort was faster than I ran. I'm calling it about even for my 12 mile day this week, since 1:21+ of easy running is pretty close to 12 on a normal day.
