Hi Rob,

They look proper cool, tempted to get myself a pair ☺.

Well done on the ciggy quitting, I packed them in about 8 year ago. Gives me a heart attack when I see the prices now.

Happy running in the new trainers.

Hi Saul, thanks :)

I don't know how I afforded to smoke really. Well done you on 8 years :)

I sometimes sit there and think the same thing. On average it was around £25-30 a week for me.

Nowaday's I run 5k just to get away from the smell😅😅.

Funny how you don't realise how bad the smell is while you are a smoker.

in reply to saul01

I won't say how much in used to spend because really it was an absurd amount !!

You are so right about the smell !!
