Ummm I think I may have become a little bit obsessed with this running malarkey and I've not even graduated yet! Lol

As well as keep looking at trainers and running clothes (resisted the urge until I lose more weight) I have bought a new armband and Bluetooth earphones and I just received an offer from my bank for free annual magazine subscription and guess what I've chosen??!!!

My bank balance had better be prepared for when I graduate!!

Also obsessed and now only 2 runs away from graduation. Rain stopped play this morning so sitting at work thinking about running this evening.

It's great, isn't it?

I know what you mean, I already have a drawer dedicated to my running kit and spend far more time than is good for me looking at running shoes (why are they all so much prettier and more techie than mine?). But, all of it is essential equipment and as such cannot be described as extravagant. So there 😜.

Ooohh I like your thinking. I'll have to remember that when I start buying more 'essential' stuff and the other half asks why! Lol

Ha ha it's crazy isn't it - I find myself checking out what other people are wearing, serious trainer envy ! Haven't been to a proper sports shop - all my stuff is from Tescos / Sainsbury's , still feel a bit intimidated going somewhere serious like that..maybe after Graduation( ooh can't believe I said the G Word!!) 😉

Haha! Yes I've got stuff now that I never knew I needed. This addiction runs deep.

Yep it's addictive alright.

This weekend I bought new shorts, new shirt, new running belt complete with dual water bottles!

Oh and a Garmin Forerunner 630 that I'm soooooo excited about and can't wait until it arrives 😀

Not what you're looking for?
