Bright red running shoes

I have now been running for over 6 months, having started C25K in February. I run 30 minutes 3 times a week. My husband now calls me a middle distance runner and as a treat has bought me a pair of bright red ( my favourite colour) running shoes.

They don't make me run any faster but when I look down I can see them peeking out and that spurs me on. At the age of 63 I need all the help I can get.

Love it! Just slightly jealous of the red shoes, would make me think of Dorothy and the wizard of oz. good luck with the running.

Ooooh red running shoes. How lovely.

I'm only on w3 but when I complete C25K I plan to buy myself a pair of lovely new running shoes as a reward.

Enjoy the runs in your lovely new shoes.

It helps doesn't it. I'm a not-so-old geezer of 62 & my running shoes are mostly orange!

Thanks for all the comments. Bright shoes are a positive. Just look at the Olympic runners. Way to go or what?
