Well I really shouldn’t run every day at my present weight, and considering I ran longer yesterday, than I have in 13 years, I probably should have stayed home today.

But – a but was coming – I bought myself some new, sturdier, more winter like shoes today and a pair of long tights. And I had to try the new gear out.

So I ran my shortest route and I ran it downhill.

The tights are fine – although I suspect I look much like a teddy bear disguised as Robin Hood in them. The shoes are sort of fine too. But it feels as if I’m tilted a fraction more forward than I am used to. Never having worn high heeled shoes I don’t know what that feels like, but me new shoes feel like that. I’m not really in pain or anything but they will take some getting used to.

I had better wear them for work tomorrow, to break them in.

I ran 2.7K in 17.03 – fastest ever.
