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

It was a 4 seasons long run this morning, wet windy, hot, sunny, rainbow the works but I really enjoyed my 10miler Smile.

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.

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.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 22/11/2019 12:15

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!

TriSkiRun99 · 25/11/2019 07:02

Your both doing really well, I’m still struggling with illness won’t be doing anything today which is a poo as I’ll miss my long run day...I’ve got 90k to go I can’t really miss another blooming week due to illness Sad So hoping I’ll feel bit better mid-week.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 28/11/2019 08:07

Heading out today hoping for a 10 but my leg is giving me jip so I will do a nice out and back route to give me the option of quitting turning back

TriSkiRun99 · 28/11/2019 19:29

Well done 8k is good, hope you can get the leg sorted out. I’m still on the sick bench, I’ve done zero exercise for 9days Sad my ears & sinus all blocked but the first day of less paracetamols today so hopefully turning the corner at last but I’m not expecting to get out until Sunday due to wend plans. Hope I’ve not lost too much stamina.

TriSkiRun99 · 30/11/2019 12:21

Yah made it out 7k in total, despite being away, the Hotel was only 1k from the nearest ParkRun Grin so Hubbie said go for it, so I did. SO pleased to be turning the corner on this nasty virus.
