Shiney New Trainers


Nothing to report... haven't been training since Monday and I know this is against my principals but I must say I was a little concerned that I was heading for injury. I've been getting a very sore area around the back of my heel and under my ankle on my right foot for a few days now. So considering I have a 17 mile off road race on Sunday (I'm certain it was billed as a road race when I booked it back in December) I thought it would do no harm to have a couple of days off, Tuesday is my normal rest day anyway and Wednesday I had a committee meeting for club and managed to talk myself out of going for a run on Wednesday morning so here I am refreshed for this evenings distance training, tonight we are going to Horsfall track again for a session with Steve Wolstenholme again. Apparently he has a pyramid session in store for us, more on that later.

So this gives me an ideal opportunity to report that I won a double rollover lottery bonus ball, lucky number 5!! So nearly 90 squids in my pocket I tripped off down to Sportsshoes and invested in some new trainers and two new pairs of socks. I've worn my trainers for non-running activities for a couple of days and I intend to run in them for the first time tonight. I'm trying not to think about the fact that the last pair of new trainers I bought I ended up being out for 3 weeks - I can't definitely say the new shoes were the cause but I couldn't put it down to anything else either so I'm just keeping everything crossed. Meanwhile I'm very pleased with my girlie pink purchase!
