New trainer day!

So today is my birthday, another year older!

I've had this awful cold that's going about and on my last run only managed 3k so I was slightly disappointed. I woke at 4.30 today and decided I was running no matter what, even if I only managed 1k. I did get to 4k so slightly better. By the time I'd done my run everyone was up and I was allowed to open my gifts🀣 my husband had bought me some "trainer tags" (just perfect for me) amongst other things. So off we went to get a gait analysis and new trainers to go with them. I can't wait to try them out.

Happy running everyone πŸ™‚

Ah brilliant. Happy birthday πŸ₯³! How didn’t I know there was such a thing as trainer tags? What a great idea, and they look perfect on your new shoes. Well done on that run and happy running in your new trainers next time you’re out πŸ‘ŸπŸ˜Š.

It's no better, my nose is either running like a tap or blocked but I'm trying my new shoes tomorrow whatever I'm feeling like πŸ˜‰

Do you turn the tags so the writing faces you when wearing them, or do you face them out so that they inspire others?

They are so small you'd need to be slithering past on your tummy to see them πŸ˜‚. I'm a tad negative about my running so the thought was there. Each time I see them I'll remember I've always got my husband cheering me on, no matter how bad I think it's going πŸ™‚
