W2R1 Gusty Winds!

Just completed W2R1 and boy was that hard! The wind was blowing all over the place and it felt like I was running backwards some of the time. Hope we've seen the last of this weather as it makes the whole thing so much more difficult.

Hang on in there Yonda! It's hard when you're getting buffetted but it will add to your strength and stamina, which you're going to need in the coming weeks. I tell myself that if I can cope with wind, rain,snow, sleet, ice blah blah then by spring I will be able to cope with anything. We're definitely getting the worst of the weather at the moment so anything in coming months has to be better than this. We can but hope!

We're all going through it Yonda so you're not alone in this. More power to us!

Thanks misswobble, I think I was just feeling a little sorry for myself after finding week 1 so easy. It's good to know we're all in this together, the support on this forum is fantastic.

Well done. The wind really is difficult. I ran too (or should I say 'fast walk' ) - the wind was coming in every direction except behind me which would have helped !
