Really time I got out there again so I put my running gear on, and my NEW
waterproof trail shoes and...
...drove to my friends’. I wanted to do a job for them but it involved going to a couple of places to gather info on prices, so I ran there, paused Runkeeper, restarted Runkeeper and ran back. Then I hopped in the car, drove home, ate, rested and ran to see another friend, paused Runkeeper, had a brew and ran home again.
It took all day but I reached 10km!
I deliberately ran through some puddles and my feet remained dry 😀. I LOVE these shoes but they are harder to run in when you hit tarmac. Also my ankle feels a little bit sore 😐. I have one leg longer than the other, it’s a pirate thing, and the heel lift in my shoe is what is causing the basic problem. At least it isn’t a peg leg like Long John Silver, that wood slow me (pun intended).
I also got to try out my running gloves and wore my hat without having to take it off after 10mins. All in all a good run except that splitting it into sections meant I got the toxic 10mins 3 times!

That made me smile. What a great way to do an all dayer 10k. Weather is pretty grim as well so keep those fingers toastie.
Very inventive with that all day 10K Baddie! 🏴☠️ you made me smile with your multitasking and pirate jokes 😁
Very nice pair of waterproof trail shoes too! 👍 Yeah, keep the tarmac sections short as possible with the trail shoes as apparently they offer less cushioning and will wear much more quickly than a road shoe. ⚡️
I don’t like French wine. In fact I only drink once a year now I’m on medication, and I don’t like oysters, or vomiting 🤮 so I think I’ll give that a miss! Now if it was a chocolate tour...
I read somewhere on here that trail shoes are neutral because trails are uneven so it doesn’t matter. Yes I think they are for ‘normal’ footed folks, (not pirates)!
