7/11 wind whipped

Ran at stagecoach trailhead with Travis and Jacob. I ran 39:36, and it was probably a little over 5 miles, although probably not much, since the sand running was slow and running into the intense winds was slow. The winds were in our face on the way out. It was pretty nice on the way back, though. We were cruising. I kept up with Travis and Jacob for about 17-18 minutes. Then I turned around early and kept up with them for another 7 minutes. It was a pretty good run. It wasn't too fast, but I felt fairly strong through it. I feel I'll be ready for Steens if I keep running every day.
