The 5km is only because I run every day, but today I ran 11km. If you see my other running posts there are a few really extreme runs in there, snow storms, icy conditions, leaping over fallen trees, etc It's been an extreme winter. Where I live it's very hilly so on average I have about 140 altitude meters in a run. The 5km runs are during my lunch break at work.
I'm now so used to running that I barely take notice of the weather. I push myself to go out there regardless and I feel great about it when I'm (one of the) only ones out there, maybe even a bit smug. But I have to.
Good on you! I prefer the nicer weather for running ;-) As i said, I'm a wuss ;-)
But we are coming to he end of the nice weather - winter is coming. And if I am to complete my goal this winter, I'll have to be out running as much as i can despite the weather.
Then I can be as smug as you ;-)
Well, we did a #fiftyrunstillmay challenge here on steemit. Maybe you could start something similar. It was to motivate us to keep running in the winter, but you could do the same for people who are now starting to get the winter.
To be honest I'm a lazy b*strd and if I don't push myself to go out there, I'd stop really soon. That's the only reason why I keep going regardless the weather. Basically I'm a stupid lazy idiot who's rather stubborn and sick then healthy and clever 😉
