Can't believe I'm excited about buying trainers!!

I've just ordered myself some beautiful trainers and I'm so EXCITED. Does this mean I'm actually a runner now?!

Hopefully they'll arrive at the end of week 7, so I can enjoy my longer runs with happy feet. 😁

Yes! You're running, so you're a runner 🏃‍♀️ I ordered a new running outfit in week 5. Now I'm super happy, I'm at least dressed for the occasion 😆 I think new gear is super motivating. I run in Merell barefoot shoes and I'm loving it. What did you get for yourself?

Amazing! Ooh, I really considered barefoot shoes but I just don't think my joints would like them. Ended up getting some Nike Pegasus 36 trail shoes as they seem very suited to me and where I run. Exciting stuff 😀

Hi Kifkaf, if you’re excited at getting some new running shoes you’re definitely a runner!🏃‍♀️ We rely on our shoes so much so it’s important that we choose them well.

Good luck with the rest of your journey towards graduation!🙂👍
