A couple of bits of luck today...

[Wenderwoo]

More new shoes (well I am female ☺️). I ordered these about 10 days ago from Brooks in the sale. Before you ask, no, I haven’t had a gait analysis, as can’t be a**ed to traps into Leeds. But I used their online show finder which threw up a few alternatives, these being one. I also did some research on recommended shoes for Achilles issues and these were also mentioned there. However they went missing in transit last Tuesday, and were the last pair in stock, so thought I’d lucked out. Then had a text yesterday saying they’d be delivered today, and Bob’s you’re Uncle, here they are! Now, should I run in them straight away, or maybe wear them about the house for a few days?

Also, off topic, but hey......I decided over Christmas that I would like to go back to work on a part time basis, as another step to being more active. I applied for a job on New Years Day, was interviewed last Thursday, and had a call today offering a couple of days a week work, which suits me perfectly. Nobody to celebrate with as Hub works away during the week, so sharing with you lovely lot 😁

Hope all of the running is going ok today 👍

Probably best to wear them around the house I think - see how your injury feels afterwards?

Congratulations on the new job - count the shoes as a reward! 😉

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to 59er]

Good idea, thanks!

[Beginnermum]

Congratulations on your new job (also having a partner that work away all week) I'm celebrating with you! 😄

Dont know much about trainers as I just run in some Nike's dont feel like I'm good enough runner for special tests and trainers if I'm honest! Maybe I will later on!

Good luck with the new job 😀

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Beginnermum]

Thank you 🥂

[Sham19]

They look great 🙂 . I’d wear them round the house but also whilst out walking and see how they feel. I have two pairs of Brooks and love them 😍

Congratulations on the new job 🙂

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Sham19]

Thank you!

[apatsyf Graduate]

Definitely wear them inside first. But don't Brooks let you wear them outside for 90 days and if not ok you can send them back? Not sure where I read that so don't take my word for it! 👟

Fab news regarding your job. Celebrations - 😁🎉🎉🤗🎊🥂

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to apatsyf]

Yes they do, but I’m thinking more about “bedding them in” for a few days (if that’s a thing) before running in them.

[Womangolfer Graduate]

Firstly congratulations on the job. 🥂🎈🎊🎉 wear in the house or for a short run. I have Brooks and I love them.

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Womangolfer]

Thank you!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Thank you!

[Sar9 Graduate]

Pretty shoes! I don’t know how you haven’t got too excited and gone running in them already 🤣

Congratulations on your new job!

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Sar9]

Thanks! Problem is there’s always this dilemma of nice new pretty shoes v rain, puddles, and dirt. I should really choose shoes that I don’t like to look at!

[Sar9 Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

😂 but then you wouldn’t want to show them off or be seen in them!

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Sar9]

Yes, crikey life is full of dilemmas!

[Mottleycrew Graduate]

😊 nice shoes.

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Mottleycrew]

Thanks

[D48P Graduate]

Nice shoes 😀 congratulations on the new job!

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to D48P]

Thank you!

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Brooks heel to toe drop are high which means they're good for foot and heel issues. They ruined me as I have knee issues and I have since found out that I need a low drop so hokas are great for me and they fixed me overnight. I sent my brooks back and got a no quibble refund so I wouldn't worry about not wearing them outside yet. Iove the colourway. Hope they work for you. Hopefully they'll fix you 👌🏽

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Thank you!

[Joanney69 Graduate]

Lovely shoes 👟 ☺

Well done on the new job. Hope you get to celebrate with your hubby at the weekend 😊

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Joanney69]

Thank you!

[Debston Graduate]

Congratulations on the new job, that sounds perfect! And what nice new shoes, hope you'll have lots of happy runs in them. ☺

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Debston]

Thank you!

[JeffingSG Graduate]

Congratulations on the job!

Also on the new running shoes. I got some new ones last week and wore them the night they arrived. They didn't feel like new shoes. I've worn them a couple of times now and they have been fine, no rubbing.

Keep on running 🏃‍♀️😄

[Nilsam Graduate]

They look fabulous. 👀👣 and congratulations that sounds perfect. Well done.

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Thanks!

[Nymahchai Graduate]

OMG I’ve got shoe envy. They are so 😎. I decided to buy mine on holiday as a girl does! You have had an eventful week and congratulations on your new job. 👏🎉👍. It’s all good vibes 😁. I wouldn’t be able to resist getting out there hail rain or shine in the new shoes 👟. Dorothy in Wizard of Oz with a click of the heels 😂.

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

Haha, thanks!

[Jalapenolover101 Graduate]

Congratulations on the job 🎉 And love the shoes ♥️I’d looked at them myself, they didn’t have my size ☹️

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Jalapenolover101]

I looked at them over a couple of days - they had my size, then they didn’t, and then they did again (go figure). So pinged them into my basket and checked out pretty sharpish! Then they went missing, then found again - I could make a movie script out of these shoes 😆😜

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

🤣🤣🤣

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Jalapenolover101]

Thanks btw 😁

[Splasher99]

Wow you’re having a good week. Fancy suggesting 6 numbers for the lottery? 😝

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Splasher99]

I’ll be keeping those to myself 😈

[Thisoneistrying Graduate]

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Redvic97]

Thank you

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Congratulations on the job, as to the shoes oh they are gorgeous, i’m really jealous, in a nice way. If they were mine i’d wear them for a bit then sit and look at them for a bit, then put them on and go for a little walk. I hope you get miles of good running in them

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you

[Leosmit Graduate]

Shoes look fab! Congratulations on the job! And more money, more shoes!!

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Leosmit]

[Hidden]

Whoop whooop! Congratulations wenderwoo on the lovely new footwear and on the new job! Get in 💪🏼

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks!

[tiggs1 Graduate]

I have 3 pairs of Brooks for road and 2 pairs for trail and I LOVE them. I would take them for a short run and see how you feel. I’ve not had any problems with mine straight from the box enjoy

[Smelliepoo Graduate]

Very nice shoes to get you out there in! And who doesn't need a good shoe pick me up after being on the IC for so long. Go and get them dirty, then you can clean them and admire them while you do!!

[Pugwash Graduate]

Good things come to those who wait - so pleased with your double-dose of good luck this week! Good luck with the new job.

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Pugwash]
