W2 R1 - I've done it after my foot injury! And have a very random question....

Finally got back to running today after a week's rest off my foot. The first run was tough, but really started to get into it after a while - I think I may have the running bug already!

The 'sports' retailer that sold me the dodgy trainers which caused my foot injury had the cheek to tell me to take them back to the store and the Manager 'may' decide if they are faulty or not - I didn't say they were faulty, just WRONG! In this day and age you'd think customer satisfaction was a priority -but no!!

Anyway, fingers crossed my foot has fully healed (no pain so far and I finished the run about half an hour ago), so I can get back out there on Friday.

Just a random question - does anyone get annoyed by their headphones wires working their way around their shoulders and getting in the way? Or is it just me!!!

I got headphones that hook around your ears and they are great. I also noticed that Sports Direct do some that loop around the back of your neck so the wires don't get in the way.

I wear one of those armbands with my walkman in so wrap the wires of the headphones round my brastrap twice, which stops them moving around & gets rid of the extra wire.
