Well, this weather is not getting any better! Windswept would be an understement and soaked by horizontal rain!! Into the wind I could barely stand up, let alone go forwards! And with the wind behind I couldn't stop myself from going too fast! Was quite hilly as well. That said I ran for 1hr 7 minutes and 5 seconds. Was just over 13k(8 miles). Felt very strong and could have kept running at that pace and probably could have upped the pace a bit for another 30 minutes. But, I'm not overdoing it and was happy to stop when I did.
And my god, my nipples are sore! Wet Helly top and wind chafing does not help!!!

Just caught up with your diary since New Year - what a mixed bag- despite everything that has been thrown at you including the horizontal rain you have kept going - respect!I hope the weather improves - at least the nights are drawing out all be it slowly - and you can look forward to a few easier sessions. Oh and those nipples vaseline or plasters especially in the cold and wet.
Hats off to you for todays lunch time run, especially in that weather! Personally I think I'll save the seaside runs for the warmer weather! Good time for that distance too! :-)
Hey you guys, thanks for the comments!
Yep, I always forget the nipple cream in the wet weather!! Plasters are also good , but man they tend not to stick on me - too many hairs and sweat. Ok, I'll stop there - too much information!!
Well, I'm feeling good at the moment, so you got to keep going inspite of the weather. I am increasing the workload over the next 2 weeks, and will then ease off for a week at the end of the month, to then pick it up again into Feb, and same again.
Will be out on my bike for a long ride this weekend, hopefully the wind might stop. I don't mind the wet so much, but the wind! But I suppose on the positive side, it all adds to the training riding into the wind. Can't complain!!
