New shoes!

I have treated myself today to a lovely new pair of shoes. My trusty Adidas that I trained for and ran the marathon in were feeling just a bit past it. But because they are such an old make now they cannot be replaced. So I went to a great shop - Up and Running in Sheen (south west London) and a very helpful assistant listened carefully, and brought out 3 different pairs to try. These were the best. Cannot wait to try them out properly! Feels extravagant but hey.. Don't want to injure myself wearing old shoes. ( that's my excuse anyway!)

I really like the colours too ancientrunner poppypug dagshar which is lucky, because you don't get much choice when buying running shoes! If they fit that's what you get!

Congratulation! Good shoes are a must when you run. Running in old shoes gave me shin splints right before a race several years ago, so now I always make sure my shoes are up for the job.

I also like them to look nice too!
