New Shoes

I mentioned yesterday that I needed to transition to a more "natural" shoe and these are a step in that direction.

They are Asics Gel-Evation (A year old model I think) and the are lovely and light and have a 'drop' of around 8mm. They are due to see their first action on Thursday.

A bonus is that the colour matches my Kinesio tape ;) (which incidentally is causing major grief for my left hip - I was warned that it would).

they look super. Why do womens shoes always look so much nicer and brighter than men's shoes?

Not sure what it is about running shoes but I have become very possessive about mine and OCD - they have to be laced just right. One pair for the gym, one for parkrun and I never use them for anything but running. I have another pair of nike's for 'normal' use.

LOL. There just happens to be a lamp over there and I needed the light to take the photo with my tablet.
