Spoilt brat!

[Curlygurly2]

Two tops, two pairs of shorts, and two pairs of noo shoos! That should sort out summer!

[teabreaks Graduate]

Omg. Jealous!!!!

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to teabreaks]

You remember the foot problems I had/have? These are the same model as I got last time, I was scared the might get discontinued - that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Pretty good price online..

[teabreaks Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Yeh Yeh! I believe you, millions wouldn't

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to teabreaks]

Now I can't decide whether to wear the old ones until they wear out, or rotate all three...I reckon the old ones wouldn't last until I get back from France in October...take all 3 pairs back or just 2? What a horrible decision to have to make!

[teabreaks Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Well in all seriousness, if these shoes are suiting you I would genuinely buy a few more if you can afford it. As far as taking 2 pairs, or 3? You're taking the p*** now, lmao.

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to teabreaks]

Thank goodness I got a Garmin and can keep track of the mileage! Gawd it costs a fortune doesn't it, this running stuff?

[teabreaks Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

It does. But it's so worth it!

[mrstickle]

lovely, new gear beats new clobber hands down

[Steve_L Graduate]

Very pretty!

[useitorloseit Graduate]

Nice! I am having shoe issues at the moment. My faves have been discontinued. Bought 2 new pairs, one set just doesn't feel right, the other felt fine until about 4k when I developed heel blisters. I'm going to ebay the first set and persevere with the second set. If my heels harden up to the second set, I think I'll buy 10 pairs as I didn't realise finding comfy shoes would be such a problem, after stumbling on the 'right' shoes by mistake a year ago by accident! I think you should take all 3 pairs and rotate them, then they'll last forever and you can co-ordinate your colourways (chick talk).

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to useitorloseit]

Yes, if you find something that works, stock up! These are not fast, they're pretty clompy actually, (remember my "magic" shoes? Sigh...) I wouldn't have chosen them if I could find anything else that didn't hurt. I've tried on at least 50 other pairs, and they all press on my lump-thingy. Even these I have to stretch with spray and an egg cup inside! Still, they mean I CAN run, that's more important than being fast.

[Sparkyifhungry Graduate]

Aw you're good to yourself. Lovely kit! X

[Madge50 Graduate]

Where did you get those gorgeous shorts? I'm looking for some with a zip pocket, the ones I've got don't have a pocket

Mx

P.s. Registration for bonfire burn (1st Nov) 10k, opens on Monday.

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Madge50]

They're from SD online, called boy shorts, but they don't have pockets.....I'm going to do the Subway 5K on 14th June, Jesus Green. IThanks, I'll have a look at the Bonfire Burn. xx

[Madge50 Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Not tempted back to park run then? Was a great atmosphere today, new total of runners 500! And a fastest course record for a young whippett 15.04, ( not me of course!)

Mx

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Madge50]

Yes, I might try and do a PR, today was Strawberry Fair and I thought if I moved my car I'd never get parked again!

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Madge50]

I had a look at the Bonfire Burn, how do you know which wave to sign up for?

[Madge50 Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Yes, I had a look at that, I think (and hope) it will be clearer once the entries actually open on Monday, I can't be in wave 1, that's for sure !

Mx

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Madge50]

Let me know which you go for, it'd be fun to run it together if I decide to go for it. I looked at the results for last year, so many runners! Anyone else here doing it do you know?

[Madge50 Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Moger probably, but he'll be at the front, millwalki8 might be up for it, but again, he might be a bit quicker. Bit early yet I suppose.

Mx

[poppypug Graduate]

Oh Curly, that is gorgeous running gear youve got there !

I want some shorts like that, where did you get them from please ? xxx

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

SD online - boy shorts they're called, about a fiver.

[Dunder2004 Graduate]

Very nice Curly, lucky you.

Father's Day is coming up - time to lay some hints, me thinks.

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Dunder2004]

Fancy the pink shorts do you?

[no-excuse Graduate]

I must admit to feeling a tad jealous! Lovely stuff x 😀

[aliboo70]

Love those greeny-turquoise shoes! Lovely! very lucky curlygurly!

[Northernspirit Graduate]

You gotta get em while you can, it makes sense to me!! It's an investment. It's not FUN it's your health we're talking about here!!!

[Tomas Graduate]

All that gear, but does she ever go for a run???

Oh, yes, she does. So she deserves new gear. Congratulations

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Tomas]

Aww thanks Tomas! I felt I really needed some stuff for summer, it get's pretty hot where I am, and I've found it impossible to run in gear that's too heavy.

[nhs2015 Graduate]

Ooooh lucky you. I am envious. Love the colours
