I just don't do wind

I sat in my car this morning, 5:30 am to be exact, waiting for the throng of Chasquis' to appear. I wait in vain. Since I am beginning to get a little sea sick due to the wind rocking the car, I decide to exit the vehicle and start my stretch in the pre-dawn light. All it took was one gust, just one gust of the that north wind and, where did I end up? Back in the car, on my way home is where.

Now this is the challenge. It becomes much more fun to run in a group, especially trails. I realize that some schedules are different, change them. The T, Thur, Sat schedule is the best because it allows a long run on Sat morning and then offers the "cherry on the sundea", a big plate of pancakes in my case. Yummy. Had there been even one other runner come out this morning I wouldn't have put my sorry butt back in the car. We would have had a super run and I wouldn't be lamenting my wussiness as I type. So......when others feel inclined to join the group, lets do it. Does anyone else have meeting places for early morning, weekday runs? Throw 'em into the comments section of the blog and share. I try to do trails just because I have nearly 40 year old knees.
