Well I've gone and done it, made that purchase. Sort of by accident, but I had promised myself some "proper" running shoes once I'd graduated, just not got round to it yet.

After my first Park Run, oo that sounds good, my shoes were just a bit muddy. While I was scraping all the mud off I found the heels were really worn down with a small "bleb" appearing on one shoe so I really had to get organised and as I'm on hols this week of I went to my nearest running shop in Lincoln.

I went dressed for running, after reading McFitty 's post I wasn't going to be caught out in the shop window!!

Now on week 1 I would have died at when the very nice lad in the shop said "Do you want to run up the road outside to try them" It wasn't till later that I thought OMG what have I done!! running up the High Street in Lincoln I must have been mad. But then the new me kicked in and I thought well I'm a runner now so why not!!

I must have tried 7 or 8 pairs on and didn't really like the look of these to start with, but I went back to them several times, they're so comfy. The other pair that I did like were just too white. I haven't been out in them yet, I was going last night but had an injection in my shoulder which turned to agony after a couple of hours so I went to bed instead.

I'll let you know how I get on soon :-)

Smashing - fab colours and they look nice and roomy up the front too. You'll have to post after your first outing in them. Hope your shoulder's okay and it settles after the injection. :)

Lovely shoes. How nice to be allowed outside to test them too. When I bought mine I had to jog around the shop trying to dodge coat racks 😂
