Wild Windy Weather
This week has seen several days of wild windy weather.
When running, it is a case of just putting the head down and plugging away when running into the wind, and just breezing along when running with the wind.
When running with the wind coming from the side, as in the Customs Joggers run today, it was trying to stay upright, without being blown off the shared path.
Of course the Stromlo Forest run last Saturday was really when the cold wind from the west blew in our faces as we ran up the hill on the New Forest Drive course.
Last night it blew and blew, and hasn't let up today.
Early in the week it was a small blessing, since it helped dry the washing, out at 2:00 pm, and dry by 4:00 pm.
It also prevents the temperatures dropping too low at nighttime, but the wind chill factor in the daytime is pretty grim.
Until Next Time

At the Stromlo Forest Park run, soon after starting, another runner, who was downwind at the time, asked me to break wind for him.
I think he meant for me to shelter him from the wind.?????
As long as he was upwind when you broke the wind.
Yesterday I had a higher heart rate running downhill into the wind, than uphill with it.
Same horrible wind here too. We might all get blown into the ocean at tomorrow's C2S..just imagine if it's a tailwid down to Bondi! Hope so!
