The paper bags you get in the ASICS shop make perfect places to nap for guinea pigs, so it was really, really important that I bought another pair of running shorts.
A few weeks ago, my other guinea pig needed a new house so I HAD to buy another pair of trainers (see here:
Have any of you discovered that since starting Couch to 5k, you suddenly have all sorts of reasons for kit shopping that you didn’t know about before? Any new favourite bits of kit?

I think it was absolutely key that you had that hat. Cold ears are to be avoided at all costs. Nobody can ever have too many hats in my opinion! Clearly having a pony tail would have rendered any non-ponytail hat unsuitable. That was the only hat that would have done the job…unless you see another one you’re tempted by!!
Now that’s an exciting trip! I love Decathlon. There isn’t one nearby but I did hear on the grapevine that a new one is opening. That could be dangerous!
Good luck with just coming out with one thing! I find that impossible in there. Love a long sleeved top. I’ve got a couple of lightweight ones. I originally had one but I wore it so much I was always in the wash!
Please MissUnderstanding , I had to buy yet another stretchy long-sleeved top because it was in Lidl's bargain box and I feel sorry for those poor unwanted goods.
Also I am a cheapskate, so when I checked my receipt and found extra discount meant it cost a mere €2.56 I did an extra-happy dance. Then felt mega guilt at not having left it for someone else who really couldn't afford it otherwise, so I shall be doing another wardrobe clearout for charity tomorrow...
Additional memo to self: stop looking at super-cheap running shoes on Vinted. Six pairs, two of which I've not yet worn, are enough.

Im the same, I just can't walk past the reduced shelf in Lidi! Ive had quite a few leggings and tops that I had to buy as they were sitting all alone next to bashed up packets of something that no one ever eats!!🤣🤣
Recently bought a protective cover/surround for my Garmin watch, along with a screen protector! Wish I’d thought of buying them before I fell a few weeks ago and cracked the watch screen. 😞
Will be needing new socks soon 😁😁😁 so will have an excuse to wander and look what else might be useful!
I remember your fall-so glad you’re back out there with extra protection! Enjoy sock shopping…there’s a whole world of kit out there to explore! ❤️ 🧦 🏃♀️
Hmm, not so much. They do enjoy listening to rustling bags and squeaking in anticipation of food. Maybe that could be entertainment. Or I can use my reusable bag and they can eat the paper receipt!!
It is obvious I need to get a Guinea pig in order to justify buying new kit 😂 My 15 year old granddaughter has one. Her mum bought her a new puffer coat with hood, non-running, she hung it by her bed, in the morning she put it on and went down to go to school and there was a huge hole in the hood where the Guinea pig had liberated the hood for his new bedding 😂 😂 😂 Just to give it a running link we discovered that the granddaughter has and is going out running very early in the morning to everyone's surprise.
Everyone should have guinea pigs! Your grand daughter’s piggie sounds like a cheeky little one. Absolutely wonderful that she’s running-I bet that’s partly down to you. What a brilliant thing to happen ❤️
My weakness is charity shops - I have found all manner of pristine unused running gear in my size which I just can't resist because it's such a bargain!
That’s just a charity donation with the added bonus of running kit! It would be sad not to support whichever charity it is in these tough times. You’re doing good for the world as well as bagging a bargain!! I never find run kit but someone the same size and with very similar taste in me donates to a particular local charity shop. I think I must be wearing most of her old clothes to work!!
