So i decided for my November challenge to treat myself to some new gear. Currently run in Asics but they are entry level, they have done me since I started in March. So I took a trip to the new running shop and was guided through and tried on several pairs of new trainers. I fell in love with these Adidas Ultraboost - so comfy and super grip. I have never bought trainers this expensive ever... but I am a runner now and I'm worth it.

Did my first run in them this morning and wow! Love them :-) It's like running on clouds

Great looking shoes Alison! Maybe I should have persevered at the running shop with different brands. Oldfloss loves her Adidas...

Running on clouds sounds perfect, and you are worth it!

Happy running in them!😊xx

I overheard my husband telling someone the other day that I had “more shoes than Imelda Marcos”. I had to titter to myself as he doesn’t know the half of it 😁😎☺️

I’ve still got so**ing blisters though 🤨

I love that! "Because we're worth it"! They look fab - glad they feel good too!🙂

Ooh, snap! I’ve just ordered these in purple & they arrived today! I can’t wait to take them for a spin & ‘run on clouds’

Happy running 🏃‍♀️🙌

Lovely shoes! Hope you have many happy runs in them - and yes you deserve it and all shoes (but particularly running) are an INVESTMENT! Well, at least this helps ease the price tag guilt & aids justification to one's other half!

yes indeed, this is what i tell myself! thankfully i no longer have an other half to justify my spending too :-)
