So ... what do we think about wind then, folks?

I had kinda worked out that it might rain when I decided to do this, and despite idealistically thinking it would be avoidable had also, underneath, acknowledged that might be a bit unrealistic. (Mind you, so far I've avoided driving rain. And you know what, call me boring, but if I can continue that right to the end (should I get right to the end, of course, which is seeming increasingly unlikely) I'll be quite happy not to have had any "full experience" concept that anyone is wishing upon me.)

I had also factored in dark. Although I was privileged - due to starting a new job - to begin by having the ability to run along Brighton front for a few days in daylight, I always knew that once that new job started I'd probably have to get (even more) determined and factor in running in the dark.

Day 15 did indeed involve running in the dark (it was raining in the morning - proper, heavy rain - do you think I'm daft?). It didn't really involve rain (I'm a hardened (idiot) Janathoner now, and a light drizzle is barely noticed against the mantra of "keep going, keep going, just keep your legs moving child" which I am sure is audible to all within 50 paces even though I think it's just in my head ...).

However it did involve wind. Now I hadn't factored in wind. It's quite a pain isn't it? It kind of ... blows. A lot. Annoyingly. I guess it is also supposed to help push you along but how come I don't notice that, I just notice it blowing my hair onto my (lovely red and sweaty) face, and generally making it feel as if I've added a whole extra dimension of pain and difficulty into the equation?

So folks, I don't know how you feel about wind, but personally - I'll do without. Maybe it's lovely on a warm spring day in gorgeous sunshine, when it's really a gentle breeze. But proper wind, in the dark, redirecting the drizzle into my face when really it could go somewhere else; well thanks but you're welcome to it, I reckon.

Still I managed two miles! Hooray! And so on we go. One more day and we'll be past half-way ... :-)
