Let’s just pop in

[Tasha99]

This morning   GTFC and I did Lincoln parkrun. We decided to ‘just pop in’ to a running shop - The Lincolnshire Runner on the High Street. Great staff who even know the owners of my (and   Beachcomber66 ’s) local running shop too! Half an hour later we emerged with these beauties!

2x Hoka Rocket X @ £60 each

1x Hoka Mafate @£100

1x Adidas Adizero @£70.

I’m not sure if it was a good idea or not to go in. Thoughts? 🤣🤣🤣

[AlMorr Half Marathon]

Well done on your run at Lincoln parkrun then spending a cool £290 on running stuff, who said "running was cheap "?

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

I know! But I think we saved more than we spent 🤔 🤣

[GTFC Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

It was such incredible value AlMorr the sales were just quite unbelievable really. To get 4 shoes at an average price of £72.50 is stunning 😍 and will help our rotation for at least a year. I'm still buzzing how good it is 😊😊

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to GTFC]

Excellent value ✔️✔️

[Jools2020 Half Marathon]

Well done for your parkrun and - yes - a brilliant idea to pop in and have a look at sone running shoes! Even more brilliant that you stocked up on some new ones 👏👏👏😊

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Jools2020]

Honestly Jools2020 the value in the sales was fantastic and it was too good not too 😃 now we're covered in our rotations for the next 12-18 months 🙌

[Jools2020 Half Marathon in reply to GTFC]

Very good value! I would certainly have bought a couple of pairs at those prices 😊

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

I am absolutely gutted you didn’t let me know you were coming 😭😭😭 The Lincolnshire Runner is a great place though; very knowledgable!

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Oh super Sandie1961 we did think of you and it was a last minute thing. We popped to see my daughter who is at Lincoln Uni. We are getting nearer and will get to you at Market Rasen one time. The guys at the shop were brilliant, so knowledge and friendly. One took £60 off my pair of trails as they'd been used once. They knew Tasha's friend at Let's Run in Gt Ayton. Just fabulous people with brilliant sales and service at a local store. Such a brilliant day. In Grimsby now eating fish and chips and picking up my GTFC season tickets ⚫⚪⚽️

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to GTFC]

Sounds like a good day all round 😁 I can do Lincoln, Yarborough, Doddington Hall and Market Rasen within 15 minutes drive, so please let me know when you’re next down this way 🤞

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

We will! Might do Yarbrough for the alphabeteer challenge. York would be closer for us to get the Y but it has not got toilets which basically rules it out IMHO!

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Really boring, running round the leisure centre track, but good for PBs cos really flat and there are toilets 😂

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Toilets 🚻 ✅ are the No.1 thing 🤣🤣

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to GTFC]

If you don’t want a Y then Doddington Hall definitely has superior toilets 😂😂

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

I’d be happy with a sub 30 these days, never mind a PB 🤣

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Me too!

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Could turn into a HU VRB meet TailChaser Depends when we are picking up youngest kitten from uni though...

🐱 Katnap 🐱

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Keep us informed

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

What a good idea to pop in😁

[GTFC Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

Really was SueAppleRun and it was literally a last thought before leaving 🤣

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles in reply to GTFC]

Spontaneous ideas are often the best 😂

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

18 months; your feet might grow in that time 😂. Sort of thing my mother would have said!Real bargains you have there though. Would have been wrong to pass them up. Looking forward to hearing about long happy runs.

I am sporting nice new Adrenalines from Shelli: they seem to be going a little bit faster than the previous ones….🤞

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

It's the BC magic putting extra spring in them 💥😆

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to GTFC]

Probably strength built up running through all the mud these past few months!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Who is GTFC kidding that we won’t buy more running shoes very soon?

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

🙈🙈🙈♥️

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

😳 keeping out of this one !

[TailChaser Marathon]

Oops 🤣 I’ve been in that shop but thankfully I was in a hurry and I’d rung ahead to get them to put something to one side. I just had a very brief look round before I dashed off again. Just as well by the looks of things 🤣 But, you can never have too many shoes, enjoy 😃

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Oh yes, I remember bragate 😂😂

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Yes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I keep an emergency one in the glovebox now since a near incident on the way to Dover 🤣🤣

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

😂🤪🤣

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Intrigued by bragate 🤔

[nowster Metric Marathon]

That's as bad as whenever I visit Decathlon!

Seriously, I'd have thought I have enough tee shirt tops and pairs of shorts by now.

[GTFC Marathon in reply to nowster]

🤣🤣🤣 Nowster knows ✅

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to nowster]

Decathlon is also lethal to visit!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Looks like a great haul to me…especially all those wonderful Hoka’s! 😀👟✨

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

We do love our Hoka's Sandraj39 and we're mixing it up with one or two others in our rotation 😊

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Can’t have too many Hokas!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

So true!…boing!👟✨

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

“Popping in” to a running shop is lethal 🙀

Great haul though!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

So we learned 🤣

[Oldfloss Administrator]

Rude not too...bargains too good to be missed...I feel exactly the same when Sweaty Betty offer me a bargain.Well done both...never look a gift shoe??? in the mouth?

Xxx

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 really looking forward to rotating them now 😁

[Week7 Half Marathon]

Definitely a good idea!!!

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Week7]

It really was one of those running shoe moments 😁

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Ohhh, a VERY good idea I'd say! Look how pretty they are ... 😍

[GTFC Marathon in reply to linda9389]

They are 😍 aren't they Linda?? So pleased with them all having good reviews and in the sales. It's so good when new versions coming out as ones like we have are so much more affordable.

[Sulley101]

😍 lovely! Glad there’s no running shop near me as it would be very tempting ! 😊

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Sulley101]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 we'll be back maybe next year to try again 😆

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

they look bargains to me Tasha99 .

[GTFC Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Still buzzing Dexy5 🤣🤣🤣
