I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul

The “mini plateau” home to Bangor High’s track is about a mile from our place. Working out there has one clear fact; there is pretty much always wind. Training in wind is commonly seen in two respects. One, it’s a bummer. You are always a little lagged, adjusting 400’s by a second or two to take this factor into consideration. The other view on wind running is it makes you tougher. When the restraint of wind is removed, as it surely will be at other tracks, you will have the advantage of this new found freedom of movement. However, for me there is also hidden option c; it is what it is. The wind blows, and I run and one is not going to change with respect to the other.
