I did it the whole 3.5 miles without a walking break! My time was nothing exciting though I was 3 miles at 33:20 and the 3.5 took me 39:15 pretty much the last mile I was really dragging. The wind was incredible. It was definitely the strongest wind I have run against. I am trudging up the last big hill of my run and the wind is just coming at me steadily the whole time. No gusts just a steady strong wind. It was so strong it kept trying to blow my earmuffs off.
I definitely was tempted to stop and take a walking break. After all what difference would it make no one would no. One reason I kept going was so I could write on this blog that I made the whole thing. Silly, motivated by a blog that no one reads but me.
The idea of running is always so exciting to me yet when I am out there trudging up a hill I'm thinking why in the world am I doing this to myself. Yesterday on our way to the wedding which was near forest park I must have seen a half a dozen joggers out. I was so envious wanting to be out there with them disappointed that I hadn't got to run that day. Yet today I looked at the wind and the thermometer and thought "Do I really want to do this". Now that I have done it I'm so excited and looking forward to tomorrows run. What a weird cycle. I just need to continue to battle my flesh and laziness and get out there and press on.
