Hi lovely people, quick update! Finally got an ultrasound scan on my foot which I injured in July and which still niggles. No soft tissue damage but signs of an old ankle injury, which has been aggravated but without an MRI, couldn't say more. π€ So I will carry on running, with lovely new compression socks, and I will now go get a gait analysis done, and treat myself to new trainers too. So, to celebrate (?) the (lack of) news, I went out and ran 6 whole k in the very murky weather yesterday morning. Went solo as Couchpotato2 was working, and took it slowly. I only intended to run 5.5, but as I was still some way from the car at that point, I decided to keep going until I got back to my car. Spot on 6k, it was meant to be! π Had to thread my way through an intrepid group of mums who had ventured out with their toddlers in anoraks and wellies, which brought back memories. I was also pleased not to be running away from zombies, because trees looming out of the mist were a bit too atmospheric at times! The socks - too discreet?
And so it begins... With socks!: Hi lovely... - Bridge to 10K
And so it begins... With socks!

Thing is. GOG, those socks simply arenβt bright enough! π π
I love them! ππ So much better than my dull as dishwater (and similar in colour too π³) ones. Hope yours do the trick. π€
Well done on your 6k. All sounding good for you - excellent! π
Funny what this running lark does to a person's dress sense! My usual colour choices are black, or denim, or denim with black. My running wardrobe, well now, that's a different matter! Although, does anyone else find they are making bolder colour choices elsewhere too? Starts with a scarf here, a cushion there, where will it end?!!π Go on cheekychipmunks, be brave. You can always wear these π (and thanks, feeling more hopeful for that 10k now π

Too discreet? Not unless you get matching shoes!π

Fabulous
I want some!
When I as at college (in the 1970s), a friend and I used to judge the young men around by how gay their socks were. Of course now we would have to call them happy not gay, but I definitely think those would have passed the happy sock test 100%!
Am grumpycp2 as I didn't manage a run and don't know when I"ll have the energy too... I want to see your socks in action! And also watch your gait analysis...
They are a little bit discreet .... NOT π love them π and well done for the 6k ππ»
