I went, I runned...

So yesterday evening came around, at last. I got in from work tired, and with feet sore from walking across town in boots that *really* hurt (it's not the size or fitting, but something to do with the sole inside which feels as though it causes blisters on the soles of my feet!). No-one had done anything about food for the family, so I set the girls going on that and headed out for my run.

Oh, the joy of putting on shoes with cushioned soles - never before have I appreciated it quite so much! And adorned with my day-glo yellow top, new running light, green LED armband, and LED trainer laces, I did feel that perhaps this much lighting was overkill - but better safe than sorry! Just wait til the Christmas lights go up around the village; I'll blend in nicely with them!

Running-wise, on the whole it was all good - not about to set the world ablaze, but I did what I was aiming to do and felt so much better for it. My knee is doing fine, so I'll move on to run 2 (week 5) next time and see how we go with that...

I have the same blistery feet when I wear 'normal' shoes so I feel your pain on that one. Fortunately I work in IT so I can wear trainers pretty much all the time so havent had problems in quite a while.

On my run today I passed two houses with their christmas decorations out. I mean I love christmas but I try to keep it contained until December

Sounds absolutely brilliant.. except for the blisters...who needs Rudolph? They can ask you to step in and run in front of the sleigh! Wow!

I totally agree with you about the joy of putting on your running shoes. You sound beautifully lit up, I particularly like the LED laces 😀

LED laces must be the way forward, they're causing a stir round these parts too, I want some!

I practically live in trainers, even at work I can get away with it

A good walking sock saves sore feet ☺

Your run sounds just the thing after a hard day. great way to unwind. I hope your meal was waiting for you 😊

It was, thank you Feet are much recovered, but I haven't risked those boots again!

[RainbowC Graduate]

Gah, in my usual style, all going so well, feeling positive and motivated - and can't run tonight. Had parents' evening for Daughter #1, so got home at 8pm with tea from the chippy! Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow...!

Better too many lights than too few. x

I've decided there's just no such thing as too many lights! Loving my chest torch
