New tops

My lovely wife got me a new long sleeved Crane running top from Aldi yesterday... £6.99 I think she said it was. Feels like a good quality garment... will be giving it a go sometime in Week 6. I think they have a running sale on this week so it's well worth a look in the next day or two if you have a chance.

Also, I won an eBay auction yesterday for a 2nd hand Karrimor top (same as the one I currently own but a different colour). Might have to start looking at proper running shoes soon!

Sounds good, always nice to have some new running gear:) I would prioritise getting those shoes, make such a difference & can help you avoid injury x

I've been to Aldi today too and got myself kitted out. Will actually look like a runner now and not an old bag lady in sons running cast offs. Seem to have taken to this running lark so might as well look the part.

But where are the photos?! ;-)

Love a good bargain, especially a running clothes /shoes bargain!

I got the long sleeved running top as well. I got the turquoise un! and the cap and the jacket, oh and the neck warmer. I only went in for soap powder!

Haha, I went in for milk and came out with about 50 quids worth of clobber. Torquoise jacket, gloves, neck warmer, capri's, long leggings, and also the turquoise top.

The capris looked good! I had no excuse to buy any though so I passed on them. Such self-control! Ha ha
