Excitement overload!!!!

Now, I’ve said it before, I am NOT high maintainance...I like the simple things in life...& I love to see my kids looking lovely but sometimes you’ve just got to do it...I ordered these a couple of weeks ago but a lack of communication from OnCloud & they forgot to email me to say the shoes that I’d found in the sale on their website were out of stock...when I rang to see where they were they were so apologetic, refunded me & gave me a 20% discount code to use when I found some others, so I had a look & these beauties were in the SALE at £80, so with my 20% discount the only cost me £64!!! That’s over half the RRP!!! Say hello to my new PURPLE babies...I can honestly say I have got that excited feeling in my chest!! I cannot WAIT to take them out tomorrow...it’s rest day today otherwise they wouldn’t have even seen the carpet!!! Hopefully, these will help me reach my 10k goal.

WOO HOO!!!

Happy running everyone

Very snazzy, Bev! Makes my black Nike shoes look very boring.........

Lol...I know they’re bright, but I’ve never been a shrinking violet!! 😉

I think they're very nice! I wanted a red pair that faded to black at the back and had luminous yellow inserts in the soles, but they weren't comfy :(

☹️ Meh....I am now walking around the house while I type & they already feel right 😍

I think I will be asking Santa for some new shoes, but maybe not purple ones!

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toBerksrover

Hahaha...they might suit you Berksrover ?!! They do some nice colours for the fellas 😉 x

I bow down to no-one in my love for fluoro - it’s not cool, I look like a Stabilo Boss marker pen on most of my runs, but now I have a full blown case of trainer envy. And my Sauconys are just about at the bin stage...

As your twin, you won’t be offended if I get a pair will you? what if I promise to get a different colour?

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to

Lol...it’s the law that twins wear the same isn’t it?? It would be in my house had I had twins (have always yearned for this) ....so, it wouldn’t be right if you did anything else!! They’ve some fab colours too Jan...I’m a bit like a stabilo too...and why not?!! x

in reply toMummycav

Okay I have to go out for a run, but this evening’s task is sorted!

Woo Hoo magic 10++ here Bev comes.

You have got home strength exercises now also on the new magic 10++ plan.

You are just going to take off Bev, so the bright colours may help track you.

💥🏃‍♀️💥👏👏☄️☄️

in reply toTbae

There's a magic 10++ plan??? Why did no-one tell me this??! :) Is this for people who want to go more than 10k?

Tbae profile image
Tbae in reply to

Sorry Neil.🙈

It’s Juju’s latest regular intake of magic 10.🤔

Just me taking a naughty licence.🤔🙈

Extras, home strength exercises and a cut out medal.👏👏.

See our panther leaders invitation on C25k and bridge under pinned posts.

Aww I am in trouble now.🙈🤔😂

Bev-lar the purple menace! 😂😂😂 They are gorgeous, Bev! I wish you many happy miles in them, and may you run on ☁️ clouds! xxx

Ooh very exciting MummyCav! They look like 10kers to me😉

I have some new babies on order too...coming from Germany. Will be posting about them next week hopefully. But for now my old faithfuls are due a spin!😊xx

MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toBluebirdrunner

Ooo can’t wait to see yours Bluebirdrunner ...I feel a bit sad for my blue babies now, I didn’t realise how tired they looked either!! X

Look at those babies! 💜💜💜💜

I’ve never given two hoots about trainers before, but this running malarkey has changed that (goes for Garmins too 😍)

Hope they are as beautiful to run in as they are to look at! 😀

in reply tocheekychipmunks

I had my first ever conversation today about the price of shoes with my teenage daughter. She's still spent more across the several pairs she has than I have on my clouds. I need more of them in my life though, so this may well change :D

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to

I’m sure it will Hidden

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply tocheekychipmunks

Me neither cheekychipmunks , I have been so excited waiting for them! This is NOT me at all! Well, it wasn’t at one time, trainers have never floated my boat but now I look at them all the time!!

Mine are lovely pale blue with purple trimming... but love yours too!

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toSuzyKK

The pair I ordered originally were a lovely pale blue with yellow trim, let’s face it though, they’re all gorgeous aren’t they? x

Wow that's such good news, they are beautiful. I think you've made a good choice there, I love my clouds, they are a pleasure to run in, they really are, although on today's run I did have to stop to pick a stone out of the tread, small price to pay for awesomeness though. I bought mine from Runners Need, wasn't planning to, but once I saw them on the shelf, it was love at first sight! You'll get to 10k before you know it, especially in those :)

Sadie-runs profile image
Sadie-runsGraduate10 in reply to

The stones getting stuck really get my goat, but it’s testament to how great they are that I am still a loyal fan. 😁

in reply toSadie-runs

I may be getting over-sentimental about mine now, but they make my feet feel safe and secure and wrapped in loving hugs. There. I said it :P

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to

Aww, you’re making your feet sound like little puppies!!

in reply toMummycav

At least they don't randomly pee on the carpet 😂

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to

Mmmmm, I was worried about the stone thing, I spoke to the fella in my local running shop, he says yes, it happens but I’ve got 4 pairs so it can’t be that bad? 10k, I’m still coming for ya!! x

in reply toMummycav

You'll be fine. It's a minor annoyance, that's all, and they are easily removed :)

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministratorGraduate10

They are absolutely wonderful..but it is you..who will reach that 10K..You!!

You would do this..even with bare feet..😉

Luckily.. these will make it much easier 😉

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toOldfloss

Thank you Oldfloss , you have got my determination down to a tea! I would do it in bare feet if I had to! But I’m lucky I don’t have to x

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toGoGo_JoJo

Thanks GoGo_JoJo , they feel like a proper bargain and who doesn’t love a bargain??! x

Omigods! I LOVE purple but my Cloudflyers are boring blue and my Cloudsurfers are orange. And what a bargain! On are brilliant that way. They exchanged one pair of shoes and refunded the other when I had had them well over the return period.

Now we want a full report of your first run in them. You will definitely lure the beefcake now! Xxx

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to

I have to say Hidden that when I got them out of the box I thought “Flick will LOVE these!!” They are just gorgeous, I put them on straight away & finished my ironing in them!! Lol...customer service at On is so good...I was hoping to get out today but god knows where the times gone so it’ll have to be tomorrow unless I can sneak out later...I bet even beefcake will have show envy?! xx

in reply toMummycav

Beefcake will be bowled over! Xxx
