A tough 5k

[Frenc]

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 😆.

Excited because I have my first gait analysis later today 😊👍. 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 🏃‍♀️! 😊😊😊

Yikes! Yes, hopefully your toes will have more room after today! 🙈👍🏻

Good luck 😁

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! 😀

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 😃.
