It’s official. I’m doomed. I bought a Runner’s World magazine. 😆

Your post made me laugh 😂 I haven't got quite as bad yet, but I have bought myself some new running clothes and keep eyeing up some new running shoes - a little treat as a reward for progress!

We need to treat ourselves don’t we! I was made up the other day, I bought the exact same running shoes again but 50% off - bargain 😄. I’m eyeing up a new pair of headphones as well. When will this madness end! 🤣

It sure is! 😀

Now seriously, do you find it interesting? I have found in the past that when I buy a magazine about a hobby of mine, I don't find it interesting what's in the magazine. For example crochet: I have been thinking of buying a crochet magazine, but when I open it in the shop, I think I won't find anything interesting in it. So I wonder whether that's the same with running magazines. What is written in it?

We’ll see BlackScorpion, there’s some good yoga stretches in there! Also blister advice (don’t have blisters), something about buzzy diets (eh?) and all sorts. There’s a little piece about Jeffing too which I know you’re into as well. It recommends Jeffing for first time marathon runners. 😀

Tis is slippy slope towards the bottom here on in Frenc 😆,

I did feel very shifty looking at it in the shop 🤣. My partner chuckled when I showed it to him, bless him, as I do tend to whitter on about my runs 🏃‍♀️. And good link - I’m after some new leggings! Now for a cup of tea and a good read ... 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

😆 I’ve only gone as far as the hype tights or ‘meggings’ will help me run faster, don’t think it has but buying the mag next... God forbid!!

Ha ha I know FM68! I’m hoping that like your meggings, reading it from cover to cover will magically increase my speed. But somehow I don’t think it quite works like that, not in my case anyway! 😀

😮 Shocking! I bought one yesterday....I was sat reading it thinking...they seem to be going on about Trail Running a lot in this issue 🤔 looked at the cover and noticed it was Trail Running Magazine 🙄 oh well, still interesting......getting a magazine reminds me of when I was a kid and I had a comic to read 😂

Ah that’s funny! Like you say still interesting though, although I’d probably trip over the first tree root and end up face down in a bog or something. Can’t beat a good old magazine - used to love The Beano 😀. Happy running Couchphoenix 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️.
