A wild 4k

Crikey....talk about windy?!! I felt like a bit of rubbish caught in a whirlwind in a shop doorway this morning!!! The only saving grace was the beautiful bright sunshine...what a change from last weeks soaring temperatures?? Well, when I say soaring..you know what I mean?!

How's everyine doing? Life has taken over, not from my running but from posting my running adventures to my favourite friends...although i have been lurking...all's going well, and yes, I am STILL on ju-ju- 's 10k plan...I feel like I'm re-taking my GCSE's!!! This morning was a gentle 4k...well, it wouldve been gentle in a lovely sunny breeze not not when storm Freya has anything to do with it!! The first 2k i was running into her, head on, she wasnt in the mood for runners....so i turned round to do the last 2k, had a brief encounter with loose stone at the side of the canal that had me picturing myself falling in! When I got to my faithful Bevlar bridge i knew i was nearly there...my friend was outside on his break puffing away on his fag, but he gave me the usual shout out, that always makes me smile!! So with a small amount of pressure on myself to keep going i will make it this time round!! I must admit though that I had a proper spring in my step last week when it looked like spring was here...now my daffodils are regretting their premature appearance and I'm sure they want to retract themselves back in!!! Bit like us really eh?? It's hard when the gremlins are telling you it's too cold, you're best off staying pinned to a radiator...or that it's too windy, you cant possibly run with your hair whipping your eyes or the secret escape of bodily fluids from your nose and mouth because your face is too cold for you to notice...but we have to keep on plodding on...we know that spring is just around the corner so try keep it in your step until then...happy running my lovely family...I promise I won't leave it so long next time xxx

Great post ๐Ÿ‘ . Well done for getting out there today. Iโ€™ve also encountered the tail end of Freya today and it certainly blew the cobwebs away.

Spring will be here soon and weโ€™ll soon be all moaning itโ€™s too warm to run ๐Ÿ˜‚

I did a 7k yesterday in that wind, nearly killed me, and took a wopping 1hr and 10 mins!! I really hate running into the wind๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒฌ๐ŸŒช

Itโ€™s definitely much harder when itโ€™s blowing in your face....well done for tackling it ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Definitely! It was like wading through jelly!! It didnโ€™t help that my head had already agreed with me it was far too windy to run only to get home and have hubby say โ€œI havenโ€™t started tea yet because I know youโ€™ll want to get out and runโ€. Bugger!!

Iโ€™m glad I got out though, even though it was a killer ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
