Consolidation run 12

Plan was to attack my Nemesis hill Doris (named after inspiration from Mig πŸ˜‚) but I wasn’t quite ready as needed to clear my head today so went for a leisurely run around the reservoir. Ended up running into the wind and rain at the end but wasn’t too bad πŸ™‚

First run in my new Hoka running shoes all in all thumbs up but my Brooks still come up tops. Waiting for my Sauconys to be delivered so I can try them too πŸ˜‚

Total run for January 19.6 miles towards a 35 mile target πŸ™‚

Doris can wait for another day another run. Don't you think there is something calming about running next to water, my parkrun is partly around water and I love it.

Great you enjoyed running in your new shoes. Have a nice weekend😊😊

Absolutely it’s my go to place and it’s only a couple of miles from where I live πŸ™‚ lucky that most of my runs are there and the adjoining park.

Happy running Buddy πŸ™‚ have a nice weekend too πŸ™‚

Doris will always be there!

Even when you avoid her and go for a different route, she will still be there, whispering into your ear, "come back, I miss you, I'll treat you better next time, I promise".

Loving my Brooks. I have to say, I did most of C25K in my Sketchers Go Run' and they did me proud. However, I noticed a massive difference when I got my Brooks. Not immediately, but after each run, I had noticeably less muscle ache in my legs.

Looking forward to getting out there today. I just need to rehydrate after last nights indulgence 🀣.

NOoooooo... don’t tell me that 😫 I not like Doris 😫

I do know I have to be kind and make friends with her at some point 😌

Glad your loving your Brooks so far they are my favourite. I have a pair Of Saucony Nomads to try tomorrow and they seem really comfortable but will give the full verdict tomorrow.

Every time we indulge we have to pay the price but hopefully it won’t be too much for you. Hope Mrs Mig is doing well.

Hope you enjoy your run and weekend πŸ™‚

Snowgdss is doing ok. Her foot is healing, but still some way to go before she puts any running shoes on.

I was tempted for Saucony. I worked in a sports shop around 30 years ago and I remember the big fuss when we started selling them. But Brooks were always the staple for runners. As were Hi-tech Silver Shadow 🀣.

So, we're on for 10k next? 😁

Glad she’s started to heal. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Brooks definitely are at the top. Hi-tech? Were you around at the same time as the dinosaurs πŸ˜‰πŸ€£

Yeah Def 10K πŸ™‚ upping my running to 4 x a week after this week so I can get in loads of practice and improve my pace πŸ˜‚

Not what you're looking for?
