When I woke up this morning and saw how windy it was outside, I really didn't want to go run. It looked so blustery and cold - ugh! But then I started that mental battle, arguing with myself about it, and finally I figured I would be so annoyed with myself for not going, it would just be better to go and get it done with. It would put me in a much better mood for the rest of the day, too!
Stefaan came with me and when we left the wind was terrible! But we still ended up doing nearly 8 km for just under an hour. I kept telling myself the wind was simply an additional workout challenge for my legs, but at some points it was like pushing through mud. I was so glad to be done when we finally got home - but glad I went!
Isn't running often like that? Hard to get out the door for some reason, but never any regrets once you're done.

Congratulations for not giving into the mental game. Running in the wind is hard, and annoying. I admire you for just doing it. Good Job.
I like your windy cloud. Good for you for going out. I think I would have gotten back under the covers.
I completely agree with you and it is 100 per cent true for the gym too.
Good for you for getting out there.
You're totally right - there are never any regrets from a run. I hope the wind blew away all the pollution from the other week.
Especially on my early morning runs, runs are like that.
I didn't run this weekend because of my cold but you know I love me some wind during a run. I did walk this weekend and thought "great running weather" :)
Running against the wind can be really tough - it makes me want to give up! We've had a bit of wind this weekend, but not as bad as you - well done for going out anyway!
Windy runs are sometimes the worst! I am happy you got out there! :)
