Second pair of running shoes ever... who'd have thought!

So 18 months on and a second pair of shoes. Other things I have learned from this site...how to use Strava ( free), how to use Spotify ( free), there's a theme! Working on Audible. Thanks to whoever mentioned Brooks shoefinder and the person who mentioned getting last season's stock on sale. These were £50 cheaper than first pair. Didn't want to go to a shop...2 hour return trip so followed more advice on this site about sticking to same brand and they fit fine. And after first run they got me below 10 minutes 🐌🐌🐢🐢. Not that keen on pink but rarely meet anyone so all good 😊

Brilliant lessons learnt, 18 months is a great length of time for your shoes to last, I'm looking at replacing mine after just 6 or 7 months and of course they wont be reduced😪 I wonder if I run really slowly I can eek them out a bit longer. Enjoy those lovely new Brooks. Happy running 🤗

It was only when I slipped a bit that I realised soles worn😊
