After many miles of mud, hills, rain and blood sweat and tears it is time to say goodbye to my faithful friends. But I still don't think I can bring myself to put them in the bin 8(
As you might know, Ali and I run together every other Saturday and yesterday's run took place on a treadmill at Iron Bridge Runner in Exeter, in the window of all places! We were attended to by two very helpful young men. Our running gait was filmed and analyzed. I land with a straight leg apparently, which is good, so I was very chuffed. Easy choice for me then, a brand new pair of Asics, that'll be £100 please, job done!
Ali's current trainers were not helping her gait at all so after analysis different types of trainers were tried until she found the right pair. Hopefully, Ali's new tyres will help her knee problem. Both of our new trainers have go faster stripes but unfortunately they were all out of turbo boost footwear.
OK, so we didn't do much of a run yesterday but we did amble about the shops trying on hats and ogling handbags. We did have a scrumptious lunch of fish finger sandwiches with fries accompanied by a perfectly chilled bottle of Chenin Blanc. We did converse with the swans, geese and pigeons on the waterfront and enjoyed a sneaky ice cream. We did help Cath Kidston's retirement fund by buying some sale items and we finished the day with a hot chocolate at Starbucks before catching the train home.
All in all a perfect day out.
I really should road test my new trainers, but I don't want to get them dirty. Maybe tomorrow...
