NEW SHOES!!!!!!!

After my long and painful break from running I can now comfortably run a 5k. A month ago I genuinely thought my running adventure was over due to the persistent knee injury that refused to go away. After physio and much agonising foam rolling the knee feels good again. I promise to take things easy over the next few weeks but the shoes are a reward/treat to myself for putting in the work to get back to a position where I can actually run again. It feels great to be back out there again. Here's hoping you all stay injury free and achieve whatever goals you have set yourselves.

Thanks all. Maiden run in them just completed. Very nice they are too. I think we're going to get along just fine.

They're proper, they are! Well done on your fightback, and that's the perfect way to reward yourself, I have saucony, they're fab.

Would be rude not to get a little extra, wouldn't it!

Even though I only got my trainers a few weeks ago, I'm already wondering if I need a "spare" pair.... Wonder where this addiction ends!

A spare of everything is always recommended.

It's too late to turn back now, fgs, you've got the bug - you'll be amazed just how many variations of leggings, crops, shorts, t-shirts, vests, socks, you just have to have πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
