Step up challenge and a bit of shoe porn.

This week I have really tried to up the effort. After all the Great South Run in October is starting to appear on the calendar. Monday night saw me out running 5 miles as fast as possible (fast for me, not fast for Mr Farah!), Wednesday nearly 6 on a challenging XC in the lashing rain, howling gales and pouring rain made me chicken out of Parkrun yesterday, but today I ran a brutal 10k (6.85miles) in support of my son’s school PTA.

My rewards were fabulous ice cream and a new pair of trainers. Weirdly I ended up with the new model of my old ones. No matter how hard I tried to love others, these were just me from the moment I put them on!

One thing I do know, I’ll sleep well tonight!

Well done you and lovely shoes, they look like a nice cool mint ice cream too. I think i'm having ice cream and shoe envy

Well, I needed new trainers! My old ones are coming to the end. I tried Asics, Brooks etc...... but no. Put the Mizunos on and it was like slippers!! Love the colour. Can’t wait for their first outing😊

I had the same reaction to my new shoes, it was like coming home, and it really helped that they are a lovely colour.. ermm, in fact, almost the same colour as yours! Very good taste Katie 😁
