Well that was annoying

[SweatyHettie]

Soooo windy out there today!💨💨💨 I went out much later than usual this morning. In fact after a rubbish night’s sleep I had almost given myself permission not to go out today, but the hubby suggested I go out anyway so I got my gear on and headed out. At least it wasn’t too hot. I picked a potential 5K route and decided to do the beach first to get that out the way. Big mistake. Huge. That wind! Oh my goodness it took my breath away almost literally. So with the hooley in my face and running on the pebbly path it was not going well. I decided to abandon the 5K route and cut away from the beach early as I was really struggling to catch my breath.

I completed 30 mins but man that was hard work today. I made sure I did proper yoga stretches afterwards as my legs felt really heavy!

One to chalk up to experience I feel 😜

Gotta love that wind and the bracing sea air Go you! That has set you up for the day

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Very true .. got to face it again shortly as I dog walk for a charity on a Monday and they live a bit further along the coast - so no escaping a bracing walkies either- my spaniel’s ears will be flapping in the wind 😜

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

Love it.. photo please?

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I’ll try - she probably won’t be still enough to get one -she goes even more doolally in the wind!😜

It’s totally blowing a gale here too and we are in land.... trying to build up the willpower to get ready and run

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to BowlingT]

Do it! You’ll feel better after ( maybe not during😜) and it does at least cool you down 💨

[BowlingT Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

Haha. We will see how it goes, I’m going to head to an arboretum which will hopefully be a bit more sheltered and hope I don’t get walloped by a tree.

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to BowlingT]

🤣sounds a good plan!

[Brunsamarathon Graduate]

Totally feel your pain. I haven't got the hooley but we have the start of a helm! Running this morning was interesting lol! It was fine behind me but running into it was near on impossible 🤣

Good for you gritting your teeth and doing the 30 mins 👏🏃‍♂️😎👍👊

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Thanks - it was not what I’d call enjoyable but at least I did it! 💪🏻

So is a helm like a hooley?! I’ve not heard that term before 🤔

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

It's a weird one. You can see a 'bar' of cloud form over the hills and it blows for days sometimes. It can get so strong sometimes that you can lean into it without falling. It has taken the roof of our stables off many times lol!

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Wow! You learn something new every day!

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

Lol you certainly do! There are some strange things 🤣

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate]

Sooo windy! People wonder why the English talk about the weather so much, it’s because 4 days ago we were in a heat wave 🥵, now we’re battling gale force winds 💨 There’s always a conversation to be had about the weather!

[Equilux Graduate]

Well done! That wind does literally take your breath away (cue song by Berlin from Top Gun!). Where I am, the wind always seems to be behind me when I’m running downhill, would be more helpful if it was behind me for the uphill bits!

You’ve now earned the right to browse the SB sale as your reward, I think 😀

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to Equilux]

Omg is the SB sale on.....?! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[Equilux Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

Yes, yes, yes!!!

[PurpleCat87 Graduate]

Well you’ve done better than me - I copped out first thing due to the high winds - might go later

[Delgirl82]

I’m with you my jog was awful in that wind !! So slow I thought I was going backwards. 🌬

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to Delgirl82]

It wasn’t pleasant- but hey we did it!! 💪🏻😜

[PeggySusi Graduate]

Well done for getting out in it and doing the whole 30 minutes too! It’s a much bigger achievement if it’s a struggle.. and a bigger high of relief too.. you need the tough ones to appreciate the good ones.. and lots more good ones to look forward to when the weather improves..😊
