I've been a bit quiet on here lately.... but have still been reading all your posts!

Issues with the menopause and now issues with water retention due to hrt, my running has been unspectacular (Is that even a word?) but I'm still running! My pace has dropped and I'm a long way from being back at my March pace. But it's improving slowly. I still want to run!

My Mizuno shoes have been great for a year but pain in my right foot meant I went back to the lovely Run shop in Swindon this morning. I have new shoes! I love them already and can't wait to try them out. I had another gait analysis, the shop owner told me my right leg kicks out like Phoebe in Friends!! Ha ha! Completely true! I love her character so I see it as a compliment! Husband thinks this is hilarious....!

I've got two 10k races booked for November and December and am going to run the Landmarks Half Marathon in March, for Bowel Cancer UK - as I am a bowel cancer survivor. I'm very excited about that! So 10k is my focus until December then half marathon training properly.

And yes I'm a big 'Friend's fan do you ride a bike like her also

Probably worse than her! Broke bones in my back years ago falling off a bike!

I’m sure you’ll run faster in them! 😁

Love your new shoes Ang! Brooks are my fav after a few different brands I just can't see past them. I'm around 50K away from my upgrade. Only changed colour as I really don't want to risk even a model change. πŸ˜„

Sorry to hear of your historic and new health issues, but it's great that you're still getting out there.

All the very best! 😘

They are SO sexy! Great excuse to run. The menopause is a menace. I hope things settle down soon. Sorry to hear you've had the dreaded big C. Glad you're out there running. Good luck for your races, and for your training next year πŸ‘

Yaaay Ang!! Good to hear from you. Every run is it’s own kind of spectacular. I’m doing β€œpootles” right now. Regular and very short runs. I’ve not done more than 15 mins in several weeks, but it’s almost daily and I’m enjoying it. I’ve had a lot on to be able to say I won’t bother or don’t have time or energy. For now I’m just aiming to keep going.

Now.......if I was to buy such lovely new shoes??? 🀩🀩🀩🀩🀩! Who knows Pheobe? 😁😁😁! Just wanted you to know, I think you’re doing great! Enjoy!! Good luck with the 10k’s and HM!❀️

I pootle in the week but do try to get one long run in at the weekend. I just don't like the heat!

They are very spiffy!.

I do that with my left leg, it looked pretty embarrassing on the video and caused the sports physio I saw a few problems πŸ˜‚

Glad you're back in action.

Well aren't they gorgeous!...I'm sorry but I'll have to re-read the rest of your post again later as I'm struggling to focus on anything but the shoes 😍. Also I love Phoebe and her crazy running, unlike her you won't have to hear no-ot mine, no-ot mine while you're out in yours πŸ˜‚

I love new shoes pictures πŸ˜‚. Hate getting them dirty though until the first muddy run and then I get over myself. Wishing you many happy running miles together πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ.

Fab shoes & great plans! I'm a bit of a Phoebe runner too! I admire your positivity and drive to carry on running and take part in races. It's so good to have a focus whilst looking after your health at the same time. I'm blundering through the menopause years at the moment, trying to work out how to alleviate each new symptom πŸ˜‚πŸ€ͺ! Hope you enjoy your new Brooks & are super speedy and comfy in them. Good luck with the races!
