Fifty runs till May #43

Run #43/50 - 86%: ✔

For those of you who are unaware of what's been happening in Europe the past 2 days, there has been a huge storm with the name 'Burglind' passing over mainland Europe and it has been causing some major disruptions. Although the worst is now over, this has affected my run today severely. As I was off and at home I wanted to go out for a run in my neighboorhood.

It was already difficult to motivate myself to go for a run today due to the continuous rain and wind and I expected conditions to be quite difficult, however I did not expect the roads/paths to be completely blocked and unaccessible. Several times I tried my luck, only to have to go back the way I came. I even tried a different route, but everywhere where I had to run through the forrest I found blocked paths. In the end I found myself a course that was primarily on paved roads/concrete.

I had great difficulties during my run as well due to strong winds and rain and I was always alert for falling/flying objects and trees. I am happy I went out and managed to get run #43 in, but this will make a few of my next runs on more unfamiliar terrain. In the end I did 10,87 kilometers in 1 hour and 7 minutes.

_{You can see on the map that most of my ways, when they were in the woods, led back on themselves and the ones outside are all on concrete}

7 runs left to go, but I do hope that they clear the paths quickly and that this was the worst conditions that I had to face. Keep running and have fun! Let's do this!!!
