Blimey it was windy out there!!!

I was trying so hard to keep my heart rate down this morning but it was a waste of time as everytime I turned a corner I was right into the wind again. It was quite nice and bracing and quite warm too but definitely a struggle. At one point I am sure I was running on the spot😜😜

But still that’s another 6k towards my target and as I wasn’t sure if I’d make it to 5 today I’m pleased with that. Again no great speed but a nice steady run.

Home now and baking coffee cupcakes and ginger snaps. The house smells lovely .☺️

Well the family are eating their way through my baking so successful day all round

You had me at Ginger Snaps!!

You and I had the same idea today. I went out at 12 trying to go steady all the way. The wind was tremendous! Well done on another 6k 😊

That’s what happens when you have your kids at home; whatever age they may be. 😂

Powering through that wind. Excellent! It does raise quite a funny image though - you with the legs whirring round like a cartoon character while remaining stationary. Won out though!!!

That’s what I felt like!!! I went for a walk after lunch with my son and we were nearly swept away again- quite invigorating though. Even though it is still warm the air is so much fresher 😁

Lol, I love a windy run when you feel like at times you're running on the spot!

There's something slightly ridiculous about it that makes me smile...maybe it's the feeling that we must be crazy to do this, but we're runners so we do it regardless, that I enjoy. Clearly you do too, well done 👍😆

Not what you're looking for?
