Woo hoo - Half Way There - With New Shoes

25 Replies

More than half way to my Alzheimer’s Challenge to Run The Year I have now clocked 1025kms, before the end of June. To celebrate I have a new pair of shoes - thank you Brooks.com at a discounted price.

Run write-up below:-

For the retro runners amongst us - the Dad Dancing Classic Playlist will be released as soon as I do my final editing, and I think it has to include Living On A Prayer...

Happy running everyone

Well done Hidden , it was great catching with you and all your exploits and nice to be able to celebrate with a glass or two of fizz. Good luck for the second half.

Listening to all your tales of running in London, I was thinking that perhaps one day you could take me for a run in the Capital so I could see the sights. I promise I wouldn't talk to you while we were running, and I'd hone my elbows skills just in case they were needed. ;-)

Your elbows are sufficiently sharp. - you’re on. Next time I’m back - although that may be November now....

They look smaller than a 9.5...

Oh a trainer stalker, this running thing has so many new problems that I just had no idea about :)

They were on offer - but mind you they are for extra wide feet - I have feet shaped like spades!

Have you thought of triathalons?

in reply to Jay66UK

With the spade like feet you mean? Slight issuette - I swim like a stone!

I used to run like one...

in reply to Jay66UK

Me too - I now still aspire to running like a feather - like Oldfloss does, but still I have elephantine tendencies....

Wow, I am in awe of what you’ve accomplished so far! I have the measly goal if 750 km this year and am barely a third the way through. I guess that’s what happens when you don’t run for a couple months. It looks like my training plan has some longer runs coming up so will hopefully still reach my goal. I LOVE your new shoes,they are well earned!

in reply to SaskAlliecat

Thanks - the shoes are great and fit so much better for being the wider version I think!

You are amazing and an absolute inspiration Hidden ....I LOVE your Brooks & I will be looking at these as a replacement for my lovely old faithfuls when the time comes, although I can imagine it will be like putting a family pet to sleep getting rid of mine....can’t wait for the Dad dancing, I can feel a running wiggle coming on!

Dad Dancing on its way I promise... and as to the Brooks - they are as light as air. A great find! Happy running and good luck with your juju 10k!
