Don't know about Red Bull giving you wings, but new shoes aren't half bad either!!

Went to Bluewater today to get the new shoes I promised myself after 3 years with my first pair, told the man in Sweatshop that I was very happy with my old Asics, so he brought out these babies tried them on their treadmill and didn't need to look at any others, sold!

Didn't get back from Bluewater until 3.30pm so waited until 6pm to take them for their inaugural run, was my second day of my Asics plan, should have been 8km, but didn't want to do too far as I'm going with my eldest boy to the Imperial War Museum in London tomorrow for help with his dissertation, so did not want to be too knackered for tomorrow. Just did my usual 5km route, but boy did they feel good :-) but by the time the sun had gone down my hands were bloody freezing!!!

Can't wait until Friday when I will give them the full 8km on day 3 of the Asics plan. :-)
