as for today's training run, I went out for a 6.5 km at an easy pace. Was a nice day yesterday afternoon then we got all sorts of weather watches/alerts for strong showers or storms with very rough winds and possible hail coming over the evening. Temperature dropped from 75F to about 54F between 4 and 6 yesterday afternoon. We never got any rain but going to bed, I wasn't feeling like going out in crazy winds for a 5:30 am run.
The old me would have said "the heck with it, I'm taking my run to the basement and the belt" but the new me wanted to feel the wind pushing me around so out there I went. The wind had died down a bit from what it was yesterday evening but I still encountered a couple of pretty strong wind walls. You know, the kind of push that makes you feel like you are running in place and not moving forward at all. Still it was a good feeling, you need to experience that every once in a while...
