up yours wind

so i went out. it was quite windy , with drifting sand and spray flying for about 50 feet , but the sun was shining so who can complain. ME, thats who! my recent inactivity has come back to haunt me, i struggled on this on , might have been the sand drifts or the strong winds or the fact that it wasn't flat, but i really struggled. any way heres the details http://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/420565639

Waiting on wind

So I'm here sitting in the house waiting for the wind to die down and I was wondering if many people are affected by the wind when they go running. I live on an island on the west coast of Ireland and the wind effects everything we do. Plenty of times I haven't been able to run as it's just to windy. The nearest gym is half an he away by car. So what do I do? What do you do?

HITTING THE HILL

i went up the old mountain bike trail again today as im heading back over to achill tomorrow. i had intended to run it twice or take a different route when i got up in the forest but the best laid plans and all that. i was quicker this time than two days ago but thats understandable as the last run was more of a social run. and i was 1 min quicker than the first time i ran it.

post san fran

yesterday was my first run since san fran, where i hurt my knee, well the good new is that all is good, i was out yesterday for a run up round the mountain in forkhill and it as great, no problems at all. long may it continue i say. had a great run yesterday with my cousin bernice. its not to often that i have a running partner and its a nice change . we talked the whole way round and our time suffered for it. 5 mins slower but i ran most hills this time. so there!

Not so hard Clint

Went to Carmel today and two amazing things happened; first I met Clint Eastwood then he got into a fight with a sea otter so I jumped in to help, to cut a long story short I got arrested for punching Clint Eastwood in the face. Apparently he's a national monument or something . So I'm now on two strikes and I'm heading back to San Fran tomorrow ?

The hobblit

So when I was out this morning I had a little twinge on my right knee. So I stopped running for a bit. Felt the same as what I did to my left knee a few years back , and now I can't walk up of down stairs. It's defiantly the same injury but on the other knee, so looks like I have to lay off the running for awhile . Boohoo. Any ideas what it might be ?

San Francisco

Had my first run in San Fran this morning , it's crazy for me to meet so many other runners , I'm usually the only one crazy enough to go out in the mental Achill weather .! https://twitter.com/diarmuidthemad/status/385071971009953792
