Week 4 Run 3

Some of you know about run 2 disaster(I like to refer to it as Cakegate) and today should be run 3. Mentally I know I need to get out there and conquer this. However I have a heart condition ( it is under control, I ha e had it all my life and it doesn’t stop me doing anything. I can dance sing and party with the best of them). But the wind and my heart don’t get on so well. I’m worried about the mental impact if I get out there and have another disaster. Thoughts?

If you know that the wind and your heart don't get on, maybe wait untill it's calmer. I thought of running today but won't because when I run in the wind I get annoyed not exhilarated. You know your bod best (and your head)....

ps: it'll still be there when the wind has gone.

I’m going to try the same run in the local ParkRun and I have a cold and it’s snowing a gale so not sure I’ll be ok. But if I can’t complete it, I’ll do it tomorrow instead.

I've only had one really bad run which I didn't enjoy at all and that was running uphill directly into the wind - horrible! If you can't find somewhere sheltered to run I'd be inclined to give it a miss
