Today I finally went shopping for running shoes. Up until this point I've been using rubbish cheap trainers that hurt my feet. Not the best thing for running in, no wonder I hurt my calf...Now I am the proud new owner of a pair of running shoes. And oh my goodness the difference is amazing. They are so comfy and lightweight and so easy to move in. I also picked up some shorts, leggings and a couple of tops from the running sections in sports direct. They all match in colour which makes me happy (I'm such a girl)! And all my new things are in a bag still, so I have a nice little bag or goodies. It's like Christmas!!
And having all this new running gear means I really want to get out and go for a run. Hello motivation, how I've missed you! I want to show off my new trainers and clothes and look all professional and stuff!
It's funny how just having the right gear or something new and shiny can motivate you to achieve your goals. I shall attempt a mile run tomorrow with Dad, although if he gets his way it's gonna be further...We'll just see how far I get.
Time to Half Marathon: 4 months, 5 days
