New shoes!!

[Sarah_lou18]

Just been to a shop to have my gait analysed and left with a new pair of running shoes. They are soooo light and really comfy but oh my, the price 🙈. Who knew getting exercise could be so expensive ?! 😂

Haha you and me both, I got mine on Thursday. However I was reminded by the wise ones on this forum to think of all the health benefits I am getting from the exercise and without a £40 per mth gym membership which I would still need decent trainers for. Long term gain short term pain x

That’s true. Plus I had a bad day yesterday so this is a little pick me up. We deserve it. Might not tell hubby how much they cost though 😉

What is it they say about Scots and Yorkshiremen?

I am exactly the same.......I don't know where they get the price from.

They are an investment in your health and fitness and I am sure you will never regret it.

Lol. I think they just pick random numbers and stick them together 😂

It’s my birthday tomorrow and I’ve been given £45 so it wasn’t all my own money thankfully

Happy birthday for tomorrow

I'm going to see if I can find a shop tomorrow that measures & see if I get on better 😁

Thanks very much. The one i went to is called run for it. It’s based on Glasgow but I’d imagine there will be more throughout the country

Ok thank you I'll google I'm near Birmingham.

If you do go, take your running shoes with you. They watch you on the treadmill but you’re only running for 30 seconds at a time. They’ll determine what type of runner you are then try on different shoes to suit and you get to try them on the treadmill too. It was pretty good. X

Ah but your feet are your bod's foundations and you'd never extend your house with dodgy foundations ....

oh and Mr JCR rides a proper road racing bike - I am telling you, your shoes could be knitted out of gold chains and they'd still not be as expensive as becoming a road cyclist!
