I was browsing in my local charity shop today and spotted a brand new/tags still attached New Balance running cap, which I bought for £1. It's summer weight, which suits me fine and fits a lot better than the winter one my hubby bought me (won't tell him that though).
Also on the subject of penny pinching, my new trail shoes arrived today, (Karrimor, £28 from Sports Direct) they fit very comfortably, I've been wearing them in the house all afternoon, they have quite high arches, which I need.
So now I've got no excuses for the mud bath that is my local Parkrun, it'll just be a shame to get mud all over their lovely pinkness.
In fact, I'm feeling somewhat in the shopping mood today. I already suggested a quick run over to our shopping mall...Steve ran out the door with some excuse of going back to work. 
I now look like a runner
Been out with my new laces :)
Trail Running - I love it :) 
First Parkrun completed. You can do anything!
