After my last run turning into a bit of a nuisance-filled grind, I thought I’d try a reliably nice route around a local marina. It was a short 4km run today and since I’ve been tired post covid, I thought I’d take it easy and enjoy it.
Then the wind blew. And blew. And blew some more. My goodness it was tough. The gusts were strong enough to nearly knock me off my feet. At one point I was running directly into the wind and it was as if I was on a treadmill making no progress forwards at all. Luckily, a decent proportion of the route was sheltered on a good path through well rooted trees.
It felt like a real battle with the elements today but in a strange way, I quite enjoyed it. I am especially enjoying it now I’m sat in a warm cafe with half price lemon drizzle cake (it would have been rude not to) and the biggest coffee they do. Welcome back mojo!

Photos can be so misleading can't they, it looks glorious in your photo! Sometimes a bit of weather really makes you feel alive though, and it certainly makes coffee and cake feel well-earnt. I went for a walk Tuesday lunchtime and thought I'd climbed the moorland hill near me with a bit more ease than normal. Congratulating myself on getting fitter I turned around to realise a strong wind had pushed me up the hill 😆
It was four seasons in one day. Actually not even in one day, it was more like four seasons in two hours! It hailed so badly on the way that I had to pull over and wait for my windscreen wipers to catch up. I love the wind pushing you up the hill story. It always seems to be in my face! How is that even possible?!! Surely at least half the time it should be behind me!! 😂
Indeed! the cake gods must've felt like you deserved it after that run 😁 lemon drizzle is my favourite. Yum, I know what cake I'm going to be making this weekend 😋

Would you run in a 40 mph wind?
Hats off (in the wind no doubt) to all hardy parkrunners.
