The first time out

[Oldgirlruns]

The new shoes were taken out for their first outing today and carried me to a (not)parkrun time of 49:26 - not a PB but not a PW either and as I’d originally planned just to do a 30 minute trot, I was content with that. They’re a half size bigger than my last pair and the right shoe was fine but the left felt a bit loose so I’ll have to investigate a different way of tightening the lace perhaps. But the feet are happy! Happy weekend running folks!

I like that, "but the feet are happy" well done on running your third (not) parkrun in your new shoes, I hope you are also happy as well, tomorrow I will be running my 3rd (not) parkrun and 16th virtual parkrun 🏃🏾.

Enjoy your run tomorrow Alan - I shall have a lie-in and try to remember to do the Parkrun Quiz which starts at 9am!

Go on Al! I'll be thinking of you and cheering you on from here!

👍 🏃🏾

I enjoyed my 16th virtual parkrun and 3rd not parkrun this morning GTFC despite my time of 34.40, I would have been happier if it had been 32.40, since I have started those midweek longer runs my Saturday times have been getting a little slower each week, not sure why, nevertheless the run was enjoyable and that is the main thing. 😊 🏃🏾

And it was windy! We were probably out at the same time but I only did 3k in my sauconys. Glad the shoes were ok. Bring them up before your next run and I’ll show you the heel lock lacing method. Whoop whoop.

[JonathanP Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Yes has worked wonders for me.👍

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

Lock your laces 👍🏽

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Yes that what Dexy5’s recommending - I’ll give it a whirl!

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Better to have big shoes and avoid lost toenails 🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Very true!

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Great to get out for your non parkrun and your new shoes. I had a few problems with my right foot slipping and found this helped 😊

Thank you so much Buddy - that was very informative!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great effort, as so many people have different sizes feet you would think you could buy individual shoes - just a thought🤷‍♀️. Happy running 🤗

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

That would be perfect for me Grannyhugs as I do have odd size feet!

[Hidden]

Well done you!! Did they feel comfy?

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

They were great thanks GTFC!

New shoes - what a treat! I think there are various ways of lacing shoes, but lots of toe wriggle room is good!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Yes, I’ve got the laces locked now!
