It has been a windy day here today. I went running, but I made sure that my route was east-west so I didn't have to fight 25-30 mph sustained winds (with gusts to 40). I did, however, have to run against the wind for about 200 yards or so to get back home. That was the hardest part of the run. I felt like I was going nowhere. It wasn't the worst wind I've ever encountered, though. That happened in February of 1999, when an intense low pressure barreled through Ames, IA, with 40 mph sustained winds with gusts into the 50s. I almost got blown off my feet a couple of times by those gusts.
Hopefully, the wind will die down, soon, and I can run north-south again. There are more routes that are better in that direction.
