W6R3 a windy run.

Being by the coast the wind is strong so I knew this was going to be a challenge and it was!

At 12.5 minutes running I had turned into wind and that was tough. My music started “keep on running.. keep on running 🏃‍♀️ etc “ yes yes yes I hear you.. so I did as I was told. Just got on with it and the next thing is Michael saying only 5 minutes to go.. amazing.. then he said up the pace for the last minute so I did and yippee it was done.

I did it! I’m a runner! Michael said so, so it must be true 😁🤣🤣🤣

Yeeeaaa! Well done, so am I, but sadly failed to hear Jo Wiley tell me so. And against a head wind too - the next 25 mins will be a doddle if you managed today. 👍👍😄😄😁🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🌬

Well done to you too! Shame about your tech! I find it spurs me on. Let’s hope for 0 wind 😂😂😂

Yep really pleased as I was feeling a bit jaded after a week of overindulgence!

Well done. You are now a runner. It’s windy and very wet here but went out anyway. Shower when finished was very welcome.

Well done you for getting out there. At least it was dry for me! Our water system is broken so had to resort to kettles... I envy your shower 😉. Roll on new tank next week!

Thank you 👏👏. I was really pleased as at the half way point I was flagging and home seemed a looong way away. Its funny how ones stamina kicks in and it just comes together. I look at you good folk ahead of me and I’m thankful that I don’t have a Brian to contend with 🤣👍

Hi Nymahchai

I also run by the coast sometimes and running into the wind is tough, but also exhilarating

Good when it stops too

Well done on your 25 min run, it feels great to get it under your belt, doesn’t it? If you can run 25, you can run 30....

I love your confidence! It does feel great and as you say only 5 more minutes to 30 mins! The wind was tough and I kept thinking of the Tour de France cyclists finding headwind tough too 😀

That’s great when Michael says you are a runner isn’t it?

Well done you in the strong wind
