W8R2 - towpath bliss

the cold NW wind is not much fun to run into but it sure kept the towpath relatively free today! Such a delight.The water birds all looked happy about it too.

Higher heart rate on the run on the way back because of the wind, but I was also able to push myself a bit more and felt I could have kept going. The walk home was also brisker than usual, just to keep myself warm.

Only 4 more runs to go!

It certainly is a bit chilly out there today. Well done on the run 😁

Running in the wind can really feel like resistance training. But you did it and yes the brisk warm down walk gets even quicker when it cold. Well done you 😊
