It's a sad goodbye...

To these two wonderful starter-uppers. They saw me through my first runs, my hell of week three, and my first 5k. They've been there for me throughout, until I replaced them with a pair of black and FLOURESCENT yellow soled beauties of the same model. They will be missed, and much reflected upon, but time marches on. I shall be replacing these wonders with a new pair from my local running shop based on my gait after having it tested, but nonetheless, I shall miss the red shoes. Or as an old lady I have been seeing this month (I'm a carer) says ever time i see her, RED SHOES! THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

I hope you will give those old pals the send off they deserve. They’ve treated you well!

I hope we’ll get a pic of your new beauties too. They sound mega. You’ll be on fire, Jundal!

You running this weekend? 😀🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃

I shall be later on, just a shortish recovery run of between 2-5k. Then next week I'll hopefully (knee permitting, it's being quite tender at the minute) be pushing for 8k or so again.

Ah those look lovely first shoes.

You could be like my Dad who maintains something of an ossuary of old shoes (and was once caught doing a cut and shut job!)

I love this, I think your dad and I are cut (and shut) from the same cloth 😄

Aw, I know how you feel - faithful old booties :) Click your heels one last time and enjoy retiring them.
