I prefer to run into the wind at the start, I know that once I can turn around it will feel so much better! Wind and cold rain are my worst enemies when running.

Wind is tough enough but wind AND rain. NOPE not me. I always try to start out into the wind if I can because coming home with it at my back is so much better.

I still prefer to run into the wind on an out and back and then have it push me on the way back. It sucks, especially when it is collecting cold from the ocean or the snow (or both) but that relief of the end feeling so much easier helps me cope. Great job out there! And oooohhh I'm sad only one more Downton Abbey.

Running in the wind is not fun. We get it bad here, too... and it's about to get into the super-windy season. Yay. I usually do a bob-and-weave course when it's really windy so I'm not facing it or running with it for too long at a time.

The tough days make the easy days even sweeter! Good job, Christy!

There is nothing more mentally challenging than running in a stiff wind! Way to go! If I can't get my husband to drop me off somewhere so that I can choose a less windy route home, I try to run out into the wind and then with the wind at my back on the way back. On the way out when it's really sucky, I just keep telling myself that I'm really going to fly when I get to the turnaround!! Then it feels like a reward. :)

Running in the wind is seriously the worst! I ran a half and the 1st 6 miles were in full wind and it rained the whole race:/ Flat course but worst race ever! Way to push through:)

I'd take your butt-kicking wind pace any ol' day. ;) I don't like wind either but I think humidity wins out at the worst running condition for me. I just can't breathe. At least with the wind, you can get it behind you for some of the run.

I hate the wind, too. And when I was low heart rate training, let me tell you how much of a difference it makes to run into a headwind--it kills the heart rate! I am also a bit tired of really cold runs. Today it was 4. That sucked. Spring is coming, right?

Great job for getting out there anyway!
