New Trainers - Road Tested on Week 8 Run 2

Afternoon all,

Well I am delighted to say that after 2 days of being confined to walking round the house the new trainers were thoroughly road tested today. We did two laps of the farmers field, a bit of the grassy part of the park and some pavement so most terrain covered.

I am delighted to say that today I had no shin splint pain in my left leg at all and my right knee and hip were fine too.

So although it is very early days, I think the initial verdict is in, my little neon orange clouds are worth every penny they cost me. My Week 8 run 2 is completed pain free so was much more enjoyable and I am looking forward to the next run in them.

No wardrobe malfunctions either today so the investment in my new running gear has been well worth it ;0)

Indeed they were. It is still a shock to me that I have got so far my ex said I wouldn't stick to it; guess I'm proving him wrong :0)
