What a farce . . Haha

I normally run with the aid of my trusty nano 7 in an armband, with Nike plus this is a great bit of kit.

First error I bought a wrist holder thinking it would be more usable

Anyway, car went in for warranty work so I was home early.

Quick change, new wrist holder on and old running shoes as I was intending to hit the woods and do some Hill Intervals to build my leg strength

Jogged a steady 2.4k into the woods and the wrist holder refused to stay put for more than 100 yes, nightmare, the hills I was intending to use were still sodden and caked my old shoes. My neighbour then stopped my second attempt at a run by flagging me down to say I looked like I had lost weight. Yes .... And momentum

I stood looking at my wrecked shoes, wrist holder in my hand and decided to walk home.

These things were sent to try us ..... And they do
