New shoes!

Well I had planned a celebration almond croissant after my graduation run on Friday but the cafe is closed so today I went for gait analysis and got some proper running shoes! Really pleased with them and now feel like a proper runner!! Not sure how long I’ll be able to go out running but if necessary I’ll run round my garden.

Good for you! I was planning something similar. There is a running shop in Shrewsbury but will it be open by then I wonder?

Glad you like the shoes! Are you posting the traditional pic? 😊

Yes, I’m lucky, we bought a run down bungalow with a leaky roof and dodgy plumbing here in Dorset but at least we have a decent garden and perhaps enforced isolation will prompt us to tackle those DIY jobs! 😂😂😂😂

I might be forced to iron - but I doubt it. Haven’t done that in over 30 years!! 🤣

I like your style!! Love almond croissants.

Great to have a gait analysis and new runners. Lots of challenges at this time, but we adapt and move forward.
