Thanks Flick. I’m sure it will grow on me; it’s the cyan, it’s a bit bright. On the plus side, it’ll stand out in the dark 😊

Hidden in reply to TailChaser4 years ago

It will tone down once it gets a bit grubby 😊 anyway, no point complaining about bright to me: I’m the flashy Lycra queen as well as having three pairs of orange running shoes. I have a boring blue pair too, but only because Up & Running didn’t have any colour choice when I bought them. Also the Launches I gave to my daughter were bright turquoise 😂😂😂

Yes! They do look much better on, and you’re right about the flashes. I especially like the shiny dark pink arrow 😀

Oh I *always* have running shoe envy Wimborne, I’d have a cupboard full if I could 😆 I’m not a teenager about labels, but good quality runners...well, that’s different!!😁

Oh I wish it were only 7 months Dexy, I’ve not been that keen 😁 I’ve had them since March, so 10 months. I started C25K off very badly in February, then my old Nikes (literally!) disintegrated and I restarted it with Bert & Ernie 1. They’ve done me proud.

Tonight’s run went fine thank you (apart from I had to swap eldest for youngest kitten as eldest was a bit poorly, he’s ok now - dodgy sausage roll I think!) but they rubbed my heels (as expected) so they won’t be regular runners for a bit. Definitely felt the difference - more bouncy and they’ve got some grip, very handy as it was a bit slippy in the fog that had descended.

It says on my Strava feed that they recommend 300-500 miles, other sites say the same numbers but in kilometres. It’s a nice excuse for a treat anyway, especially this time of year when you need more of a push to get out 😁

Dexy5Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser4 years ago

Ha ha , I saw a post 7 months ago with a picture of your last shoes and thought they were new then. The rubbing heels doesn’t sound good though - do you do the heel lock lacing?

Nice that your kittens are interchangeable as running buddies. In fact you’ve got 3 to choose from with Katnap.

🏃‍♀️🐱🐈🐈

Yes! It’s great, especially as I’m the only one without a head torch! It was very handy tonight as youngest kitten came home just as eldest got home and told us he wasn’t up to it. I’m giving Katnap a rest as he was in a big run with the running club last night.

I think that may have been my trail shoes last time (The Two Runnies 😁), these are ‘just’ road runners. Yep, heel lock lacing done. Don’t think I had them quite tight enough at the top tonight. My old pair took a couple of weeks to bed in, hopefully these will be quicker as I know what to expect (& I have a fresh packet of Compeed if they bite back).

Hope you’re B10K redo is going ok Dexy 👍🤞x

Thank you, they’re the first names that popped into my head!

Sometimes it’s Sesame St but they’ve just been Bert the Cop and Ernie the Cab Driver from It’s a Wonderful Life. Perhaps now I have two pairs they can have one set of Bert & Ernies each?! I’m definitely old enough to know better too tbh 😂

TailChaserGraduate10 in reply to Sybilw4 years ago

Definitely, definitely not 😂
