Tri that's rubbish, mine's the same- he catches everything at nursery! Strict hand washing and hand gel seems to help prevent me getting most of them but it's a steady bombardment of viruses from September to March, as soon as my immune system is even slightly compromised I get the lot!

Nursing head cold No3 since Sept Sad fed up as no sooner do we clear it from the home youngest child comes home yet again with a bug. But really hoping the D&V bug that’s starting to hit locally doesn’t make an appearance! FingersXed I feel well enough to run again by Monday.

Long run Monday, weather was perfect but I wasn’t feeling it all as hormones crashed very lethargic but forced myself out for 2hrs and see what happens, made 17km so pleased even though it was slow.

Oh no! They are narrow apparently, although I have wide feet and they have always been the most comfortable for me. Do you have a running shop near you? I always buy in person these days, I've had too many pairs that aren't quite right so now I always try them on the treadmill first

TriSkiRun99 · 09/11/2019 10:17

The new Hokas still don’t fit 😩I got a women’s wide and still my little toe is out over the sole in the material Sad fed up of trying to find shoes that fit... think I’ll have to try mens again. Did yoga this morning as want to rest my legs Sat/Sun with aim of doing 10miles on Monday.

Tri they are the best trainers in my opinion, you won't be disappointed!

TriSkiRun99 · 07/11/2019 18:34

Hoping my Hokas arrive soon... there was an issue with stock.. dragged myself out for very slow 5k run on the beach this morning despite head full of cold (again!) it was bright cold sunny morning, so couldn’t not go Smile
