I know Head wind is a phrase used for biking. But today I'm talking running.
I got out this morning to get in a quick 5 miler before the day started and boy was I in for a surprise.
Going south I could feel the very strong wind at my back and I knew the way home was going to be terrible.
Terrible it was.

I tried mentally preparing myself running south for how bad it would be when I turned around to head north. It did not work.
Have you ever done a Billy Banks kickboxing video? I did one a few too many times in my parents' basement in high school and I have one of his sayings firmly planted in my brain, "Dig! Dig! Dig!" (I think he was talking about upper cuts.)
So while I pushed hard against this wind for 2.5 miles on my way home in my mind I kept hearing Billy Banks saying, "Dig! Dig, Lisa! Dig!"
The wind died down for 10 seconds and I almost tripped, I was leaning into it so much. (Do not worry my friends, I did not actually trip.)
Happy Saturday!
I hope it's not 30º and windy where you are. Come on spring!
