Cold 10s

[Decker]

Today was the 2nd grey, cold 10.5 this week. Almost convinced myself to stay home. Running west into a headwind along the hydro corridor. Layered 4 deep today with my big fat ski gloves. The trail is open and it was quite windy (-9 windchill - cold but not crazy) , but much more pleasant on the eastern way home with the wind mostly at my back. Hands were much warmer today too 😁 Nose was running non stop. Need to bring a full pack of Kleenex next time🙂 Next Sunday is supposed to be a fast 17k. Hope the weather cooperates.

Those headwinds are the bane of my existence 😠. Good on you for getting out the door though. I chose to stay in despite a balmy 5C so I could watch the curling Olympic trials. At least I got some cross training in - elliptical and some strength training 💪😆 so I didn't spend the entire day holding the couch down

I was thinking of you while out there this morn having to deal with the headwinds all the time. Sounds like you had a very productive day. My cross training has gone by the wayside lately

You are so brave! Well done you.....!

Haha, thanks but not really😁 I was very layered with my music on so it wasn’t too bad.

Well done! I recommend something a bit tougher like kitchen roll (if your nose can take it!), as it holds up better in a damp environment

Ah yes. Didn’t cross my mind but that would have helped with the shredded tissue mess in my pocket by the end

Good job! I have to admit that I've become one of those terrible runners who just pinches my nose and blows out. I'm glad your hands were warmer this time.

C3PO, you are not the droid I'm looking for

Premieres here on Friday. Woo hoo! May the Force be with all of you.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Decker]

Thank you

Yes I also admit one of the reasons I take the hydro tower corridor route is to spit it out when I really need to. When there is no one about of course 😁 which is usually the case. Would never ever do that in the cemetery, alone or not.
