W8 run 1

[Granspeed]

Finished in the breezy sunshine, which was lovely, but defo didn’t think much of the 5 minutes of driving wind & sleet that hit just as I got to the farm track! Ponies all tucked up under the hedges with their tails to the wind and I wanted to join them. 🌬💦🏃🏼‍♀️❄️ All part of Life’s Rich Pattern, I hear you say?

Humph.

But glad I went, even if I do now have to wash all the gear & dry the shoes.

Perhaps this could be used to justify another pair of running shoes...? 😄

Def new shoes for you. Well done 👍

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to SpanishShuffle]

Right. I knew it must be true. 😄

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Great job... beating the elements just increases that mental toughness that a future run will call on.

Obviously another pair of shoes is justified... maybe 2.

Enjoy run 2

A bit of bad weather is ok but it’s starting to annoy me now. We dont have the snow or ice, great. Oh wait now we have strong freezing winds. And have you noticed they are always facing never pushing you along.. sigh

I am sure new shoes will actually fix everything!

What I love about this forum is the positive reinforcement for my shoe fetish! And you are totally right about that wind - how can it always be a headwind?? 😂

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

On parkrun I even got a strong side wind gust which sent me sideways, I was like Come on!!

You know the rule, we want new shoes picture

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Yep. 😄 But I have some in mind and it will take time to get them, so - 🎶 <suspense music> 🎶 ....

for some reason the music to Jaws came in my mind...
