Well I am just about...almost half way through the program w4r1 completed yesterday.. IT was so difficult as you may have read on my previous posts! I had been using a pair of running shoes my daughter gave me luckily we are the same size... :) So I thought I'd treat myself to some lovely new ones :) really enjoyed my afternoon looking round the sports shops.. and settled on a pair from sports direct.. they have a good selection at reasonable prices.. having 3 teenagers at home it's hard enough.. So... proceeded to ask the young assistant for my size.. she promptly brought them out from the store room..and I but I got the feeling she doubted I had a clue..me being 49 probably threw her.. but I ended up thinking..hey I know what I need.. I purchased a beautiful pair comfy and felt just right... but left the shop feeling a bit intimidated.. anyway I'm laughing now as ide love to post a pic of my New purchase..and probably..who best to ask how? Yeah..that same young assistant!! Moral of the story..don't judge a book by it's cover!!! Will take this time to wish all us amazing mums..grans..womanhood.. and any fathers out there a fabby relaxing happy MOTHER'S DAY tomorrow xxx
