I struggled into work today again, only to find when I left that the wind had slackened greatly.
I hate headwinds. Hills all have a top; you know if you have the gears and take it easy you can wind your way up anything, and when you do get to the top at least you get a little payback. But in a headwind you can grind down the road feeling like your chest is going to burst, and you don't get anything to show for it that you wouldn't have in a flat calm - and there's no guarantee it won't have changed by the time you go back (and since crosswinds hurt you coming and going, you usually don't win this game.)
Right now - combined with the fact that I'm as feeble as a sack of jelly after all this tooth-removal, sunburn, and sitting around at home - it's getting to me a little.
Still, I have to do something between B-Movies, right?
