shut the front door

I am still abiding by my short running streak, day 19. Weather has been awesome, making getting outdoors an easy, mindless task. However, I need someone to explain to me the climatological phenomenon that allows me to be running into the wind on both directions during my out-and-back run. Today I was getting blown backwards while running east, briefly south into a northwest loop, and west on my return with about 20 feet total where the wind was at my back.

Tomorrow I am driving to Rock Hill for two days. Joy of joys. Internship will not kill me, but sitting in the car for hours each week just might. I have still yet to do anything I should have done before leaving, such as pack or find a place to stay. Oh well, alarm is going off whether I am ready or not.
