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 spot๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

But still thatโ€™s another 6k towards my target and as I wasnโ€™t sure if Iโ€™d make it to 5 today Iโ€™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 .โ˜บ๏ธ

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š

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!!!

Thatโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜

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 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜†
