Thanks Rob, will do
I hope the new shoes will sort you out. What shoes did you get, she asks nosily. We have to know for research purposes, she lied
A few days off running will do you no harm. It must be tempting though to give the new shoes a run out

New shoes give you a real boost and will make you really want to go for it but take care! You need to look after your legs, ankles and knees so go steady
Thanks again
