Consolidation #5 A windswept one

A tough one today. I don't mind rain so much, but I don't like wind. Nevermind, just get on with it. So off I went- it wasnt pleasant, it wasnt pretty, and it wasnt that enjoyable......until it was over. But over it is, and now I feel great!

I changed my route slightly so as to avoid an unsheltered main road. So doubled back on myself which meant I finished near my house. So went and did the 5 min warm down walk by the lake opposite. I'm very windswept - not a glamorous look! I need some of those colourful head band thingy's, like @debston wears 😁

Well done you for getting out there regardless! Ive been staring out the window watching the rain and generally wimping out. I might get a dry spell later this pm so might get out then .

Well done Wenderwoo. You're looking fab! Try out the Hygge headbands website. They have had some great offers on recently πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.

Well done. It was windy when I went out too. I love Hygge bands and they always have great offers on, buy 1 get 3 free! Looks like a lovely spot for your walk.

Well you did it and never mind the windswept look! Good idea to avoid the main road. I did a bit along a main road and hated it. The traffic noise drowned out my podcasts and it felt like an assault. Well done you πŸ‘πŸ‘

Yes, assault is a very good description indeed 😁

Well done. I had a similar experience this morning. I went out straight after a hair appointment, so that was a waste of time. πŸ˜…

I wore a Buff my son bought me for the first time. I didn't think I'd like it, but it's actually quite effective in the wind. Green spoils the matchy colour scheme though 😱

Well done for getting out there - it was so windy - glad it was a rest day for me.

These post graduation runs can be a bit tough but you did it! It's interesting that it makes you feel good afterwards even if it's hard!

It’s probably intense relief that it’s over 🀣

I’m the opposite quite like running in the wind but don’t like rain. Well done on your run and keep up the great work πŸ‘
