I promised myself some new running shoes if I graduated from the course but I bought these & tried them today - luvverly! Like running with springs in my heels 😄 Ok, it’s a bit early but a) I’m gonna finish this thing or die trying, and b) my old Asics are 15yrs old & I glued the soles back on with superglue last year 😂 It must be a Scottish thing...

Happy runs everyone x

You'll be flying to the finish line in those!

Lol I don’t know about flying but at least my soles won’t be flapping & frightening little old ladies in the street 😄

Flapping soles are not good.

I had to buy new capris when my old ones kept working down while I was running . We can always find a good reason

Oh yes! I can justify any major purchase once I’ve made it. If I think for long enough.

15yrs old! Lol

I wonder what the ‘running you’ will think about that in 12 months time!

Nice treads tho 👍

To be fair they hadn’t seen a lot of running action over that time.... 😬

I have some shoes very similar but in bright pink, bought as a treat too. I’m on week 9 run 2 tonight and these new shoes of mine have made me fly. Love them. Well done Captain Compass

Thank you! They made a huge difference don’t they 😊 Good luck tonight & check over your shoulder- I’m not far behind you..!

I have some. I did about 500 miles in mime and they are just coming to their last now. I'll try and get some more before to long. Happy running.

Looks like I made a good choice. 500 miles? 😳 I doubt my 15 year old Asics went that far - well done you.

I did half marathon last may then gave up a little after that. I'm up to week 8 but it is hard getting back in to it.

Take heart - my last Marathon was in 1994! We can do this 👍🏼

in reply tocaptain_compass

Doubt if I'd do another but 10k race in a few months. I'd be up for that.

There’s nothing to beat that new shoe feeling is there! My old knees are thanking me this morning. Happy running 👍🏼
