A storm hit western Europe, mainly France, earlier today causing the Netherlands to experience what the news said were hurricane-strength winds. In my opinion, the winds were not even close to hurricane-strength (comparing it with the typhoons I’ve been through in Guam). However, the winds were definitely strong enough to make it a runner’s worst enemy.
I ran a route where I would experience most of the headwinds during the first half of the run. Well, it didn’t matter because it seemed like there was always a headwind. At one point I was running forward and sideways (if that makes sense) just to stay on my feet and prevent myself from being blown away. I found out afterwards that the winds were about 30-35mph. The last 2 miles of the run were at marathon pace (MP). It was a good long run which capped off the week at 101 miles.
