New Trainers!

Finally went and sorted myself out with some decent running shoes, had my gait checked and fortunately I actually run ok! I think months of physio last year teaching me how to walk properly have really helped. I was born with hip dysphasia and had a back frame but was never shown how to walk correctly and have suffered with reduced mobility in my hips resulting in painful knees. Well I have since worked on my positioning when I walk and lost nearly 3 stone in weight so my knees are much better! Thought it best to invest in some good shoes though now I’m up to the 25 minute runs! Never thought I’d be “a runner” but here I am!
