alpenrose we're planning on doing some freedom runs on parkrun routes like Poole. We've got Upton planned for the day we head home (Sat 7th). Looks like lots of lovely places to run and walk :-)

I got some new shoes!! Sal has been eyeing up some new ones and kept birthday money back. We went to collect our race numbers for an event on the 8th October and they had a good sale on. I joined in with the shoe buying too. Will upload photos........

£100 a pair instead of £160 and they guy at the shop recommended them over more expensive ones as he said they've got a good life span. Which is important for me as a heavy footed runner.

ITG, I've chatted to a few runners at track/parkrun who use them and everyone seems to love them so worth a try. I usually only use adidas or asics.

AL, yeah - he's a local decent runner too but the other pair Sal was looking at were £220!!! So we spent less between us and he seemed very fair and not pushy at all.

I have some Hoka recovery shoes.

I need new running shoes but all this travelling means haven't found anywhere to get any
