I did a bad thing

When I got my new pair of Ons last week I took a look at my gear mileage to justify their purchase...and I realised that my work running shoes have also done a few hundred kilometres. Mixing my units there, as ever. And I couldn't get the other pair of Cloudflyers in my size out of my mind. So I went back and bought them too πŸ˜¬πŸ˜„ Both pairs together cost the same as one brand new current pair, so that makes it OK, doesn't it? πŸ€”

What? I’m confused.....πŸ€ͺwhen is it ever a bad thing to have new running shoes.......no, no, I’m sorry, I don’t see anything wrong with that........have I missed something.......πŸ€”......actually, I need a pair at work.......and my others have done xxx miles......mmmmm, might need to go shopping.....

πŸ˜‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚. (I won’t tell you I’ve already got a pair in reserve.....still in the box....)

Tut! Tut! Tut!😠....πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚

I got new Cloudflyers just before Oxford half. Now I’m getting a Facebook ad for the new souped up soon to be released Cloudflyers. I’m well pleased with my blackand grey ones though. I like the colour of yours. If you got two pairs so reasonably, I’m guessing your feet are either smaller or larger than average. I NEVER find them reduced in my size xx

Whichever number of pairs you have at any time, +1 is the minimum requirement at all times. 😁.
