Hanging up my running shoes

Well, my old ones, anyway! They've taken me through the C25K programme twice, and beyond. You can tell how old they are because they're white – can't get monochrome trainers any more. I got the new ones for when I accompany a friend to the gym as I didn't think my old mud-spattered ones would be very welcome indoors. However, I noticed today that the tread on the old ones was really going. So it's a fond farewell with thanks, dear old trainers, and on with the new!

Oooh what a treat for your feet!😊

New comfy shoes will add a new dimension to your run... especially if the old faithfuls are worn underneath.

Happy running in them, let us know how you get on...😊

Sexy shoes, they must make you go faster and fly along.... old ones need a state funeral I think. Bury them with honours and a is it a five gun salute?

Sassy shoes... and very speedy looking... are they saying to your old ones... " When we grow up, we want to be just like you ? :)

I think running shops have bins where old shoes get sent to the Great Fun Run in the Sky 🌈
