One of the things I looked forward to in the new house was going running. We're only a short distance from the seafront, which is a lovely flat route. But it's not working out quite as well as I planned.
The problem is the wind. One direction you can run happily, but than coming back is hard work. Rain I don't mind, cold I don't mind, but I hate running into the wind - which means I've been slacking off rather a lot in the last month. I've occasionally gone a few days without putting on my running shoes.
Thing is, most of the time the wind is not as bad as I expect (and certainly less testing than the Morecambe run in August). I'm not sure how best to get my motivation going again. I think what I'll do next week is go out every day, even if it's only for 5K, and simply get over it. I can work on my distance again when my motivation is fixed.
How's about you run inland?

The problem with running inland is having to deal with the roads. It also makes sense to train on the seafront as I'm doing 3 races there in the next four months. I guess I just need to get used the the idea that a little breeze won't hurt me.
