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.

Bloody hell, I nearly was blinded! You’ll have to wear shades when you put them on. 😂😂😀 Nice Shoes.

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 😂😂
