W9R2 - happy feet!

[sjs1969]

After finding my happy pace on the last run, I thought it was time to treat myself some proper running shoes as I've been running in my tennis shoes up until now. And what a treat it was to test them out on this morning's run - they clearly love the woods as much as I do! 🍃 The run felt amazing and I'm finding that my stamina continues to improve and the ups are getting more manageable, thanks to carrying on with the back stitch approach.

There is no doubt that it is often hard to keep going, at whatever point you are on this programme, but I have found that you really do get out more than you put into each run. It's as though you are banking credits everytime you run for an extra minute or tackle that pesky hill, it really does build the reserves in your running bank!

Happy running everyone! 😀

Beautiful! Well done on a good run, sjs. Love the new shoes, too! What brand? Ace colour.

Oh I can now see they are ASICS! I have ASICs and find them super comfy. Thinking of investing in new ones, soon...

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate in reply to Sadie-runs]

I have asics too😄 similar style..but mine have pink laces😉....

[sjs1969 Graduate in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thank you, Sadie, they are ace and at £30, money well spent!

That's so true - this is getting addictive!

Thank you for all your support, Jan, you've helped me and so many others keep going from week to week. I'll certainly be thinking of you and all the lovely gang here as I head out for run no. 27! 😀
