Sunday – Day of rest

After watching the London Marathon this morning and feeling totally inadequate, myself and the girlfriend decided to try out a longer distance than usual.

We kept to a comfortable pace, the plan being to up it a little for race day.

I finally splashed out a pair of  running shoes yesterday. This was a good test, with a few hilly sections and different surfaces. They seem a lot more supportive than my tatty old trainers.

Here they are, complete with that nice ‘new shoe’ smell (probably comes in a can, like that ‘glossy pizza spray’ at Pizza Hut).
