Yesterday I was in town for remembrance, lunch and shopping so I was smart with 3 inch heels. I normally live in flat shoes and theatre clogs so it was novel to be taller for the day. Today was runday with a 9k planned. Went off ok except the garmin GPS failed so left with just a timer going. A mile in and boy my ankle twinged and I felt some shin stiffness. Why it this I ask? Well that may be my day in heels then! I spent the first couple of miles ignoring the gremlins and carried on to finish my run in 54 mins 40 secs. Now I have learnt that heels really mess with my running legs, who knew?!?! No partying for me before a runday.
Heels and running don't mix!: Yesterday I was... - Bridge to 10K

Exactly! I walked into town in my old running shoes today. I stood around in the cold all day yesterday and I wore heels but only small ones. I was going to wear heeled boots but can't afford to have dodgy feet this weekend. We have to think ahead now don't we now we're runners

I do need heels as I'm very short!
I am vertically challenged too!

What the heel were you doing on such stilts?
(sorry, couldn't help myself)
Lol stilts is pretty much what I need! But not for running, that would be a challenge running on stilts!
