PaulaMc Mar 2013 11:07am, 16 Mar 2013 1,821 posts	Quote Pin PaulaMc 4 weeks?! Are you sure?! 4? Another 20 on the plan for tomorrow (hoping the weather will be kinder than today), 18 next week. Does that give me time for a final 20? My brain is addled.

Mrs Winkle Mar 2013 11:43am, 16 Mar 2013 7,019 posts	Quote Pin Mrs Winkle I did 20.5 miles this morning and it was hell - the wind was so strong at times that it felt like I was being blown backwards. And then having torrential rain blown at speed into my face... ouch. Stupid bloody weather
Garfield Mar 2013 11:59am, 16 Mar 2013 2,508 posts	Quote Pin Garfield I agree with you on the weather front. Hubby, who usually isn't bothered by weather so much was saying even he felt a bit demoralised by this mornings weather. Then we started debating new places to move to with better weather...;)

Nellers Mar 2013 1:36pm, 16 Mar 2013 24,358 posts	Quote Pin Nellers Agreed on the weather. Coastal parkrun courses have their time but when it's blowing a gale off the sea it's one of them! Hopefully we won't get things too windy on 14/4.
