I know itβs good to mix up your runs, so today was my Zone 3 run. I thought 45 minutes would be good. Strava robbed me of a few seconds which is always annoying!
I checked the weather forecast this morning, as I hate running in the wind, 10kms it said. Note to self: wear your glasses when checking the weather forecast! Turns out that the 10kms was visibility, not the wind speed (which was 50kms) π
Well, of course I realised something was amiss as soon as I left the house. I started running and the weather gremlin was there π βYou donβt have to run in this! Go back home and have coffeeβ. I continued running mainly with a cross wind, down the lane, turn around and back into the village. He was back! π βYouβve done 2K, thatβs enough!β I carried on out of the village, towards the Deadend Track. There is a point on this route that is very exposed and I knew it was going to be tough. Oh yes, it was tough! I battled on until it became impossible and I had to turn round. Back into the village was easier for a while, then a crosswind again. I had to run past my house for the second time, because of the early turn around, but I wanted to run for 45 minutes.
It was so good to get back indoors again. Positives: I went out for a run in spite of the conditions and I achieved what I wanted to - a 45 minute slow run.
Success! π¨πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈππ₯£βοΈ
