W8R2 midday run on a damp windy day.

So set off rather reluctantly into wind and music seemed slow ( note to self - pick a faster Spotify mix😬). Sort of ignored it and just ran.

Middle section was hard and I did a lot of teeth gritting but thought soon I’ll turn with wind behind me for last portion.

Nooo.. that wind just seemed to head into me regardless! No matter - the last leg was carefree probably because I could see home in the distance and lunch beckoned.

So another 28 mins done and foot tendon was fine. Only 4 more runs now so fingers crossed 🤞😬

I almost can’t think about it too much!! Still prefer early morning runs but life gets in the way. Got to run on an empty tum so food has to wait 😱

Excellent!

I've had one of one of runs where you constantly get battered by the wind. They make us stronger runners you know :-).

So nearly there. Keep on going!!

Lol🤣. That’s what I kept thinking but then thought of you and your hills and decided I would rather wind than hills! The most incline I do is 3m!!! Got to stay strong 😁. Husband thinks I’m batty out in this wind 💨

Oh those hills. I am resigned to the fact that the only way I can do a 'flat' run, is get in my car and drive somewhere else. And I draw the line at driving somewhere to go running 😆

Oh no that would spoil the game if you had to drive! Just think it’s made you fitter. I bet on the flat you will be like a gazelle 🤣🤣
