A tough 5k

This week I hope to get back on track after all the heat, we shall see! I chose a rather nasty route for 5k this morning - very undulating. I know what goes up must come down and all that but it was hard. I knew it would be, hills are my friend πŸ˜†.

Excited because I have my first gait analysis later today πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘. Now I’m aiming for longer distances my little Nike street trainers just don’t cut it anymore even though they are actually really comfy - up to a point! They are a size 4 and my feet are a 4, and my big right toe especially needs a little bit of extra room. So off to a local running shop and hopefully I’ll come back with some nice snazzy new footwear!

Hope everyone has a great day - happy running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ! 😊😊😊

Thank you! I’m looking forward to it - my aim is to leave the shop with some nice new shoes and not to get sidetracked with all their other stuff. 😊😊😊

Well done Frenc! And have fun at your gait analysis too, I really enjoyed mine. Yes you’ll definitely need shoes with more room than that! Hope you get some nice ones, and don’t forget it’s the actual law that you post photos! πŸ˜€

Thank you Ian! Just about to post a pic - I went up 1.5 sizes, they feel like clown 🀑 shoes but oh my goodness, my toe is in heaven. It was starting to affect everything else, so very happy πŸ˜ƒ.
