Treadmill and Wind

On different days of course. Thursday was a 5.5 mile run on the treadmill with 2-3-4-3-2 fartleks. Nothing exciting to report there.

Today was the wind, and at least the base temperature was above freezing. This week the temp was below zero, with wind chill close to -20 on a few mornings. Today was sunny, but the wind was particularly brutal. Coming out of the west at a steady15 mph with some gusts quite a bit more than that, let's just say the weather was not conducive to running and say no more. But I'm not going to do 10 miles on the treadmill when there's no precipitation.

So out I went, and somehow endured the whole ten. I thought about throwing in the towel at mile eight, but thought to myself that I was feeling okay, the weather might not be this good next weekend, and that really the only reason I was considering wussing out was because - well, because I was thinking like a wuss. So I finished my last circuit around the neighborhood and now I'm done and out of the wind. Thank God.
