Hmmmmm!

I was trying to put our google calendar online for a laugh in that last post but something with the permissions is wrong - don't know what. I'll have to have a further play. Anyway, I'm in a bit of a harumphing mood this morning. 1st things 1st - bought a fabby new pair of running shoes yesterday - New balance 858 (stability) - had to get the men's ones for the wideness of my feet(!!!) but have been out for a run with them and I have to say, I'm disappointed! The shoe themselves are very comfy - BUT - as evidenced by the video they took of me running whilst I was trying on various different trainers, my right foot tips over as I run, hence I need shoes with a strong 'stability' component. These are the right sort of shoe, but obviously this morning, my calves and ankles have been tipped in different directions than usual - so they're complaining. BIG TIME. My feet are fine - nice breeze through the meshy toe bit as well compared to my previous pair (Saucony Stabil) but I felt like someone had tied lead weights to my legs today. I hope this improves with time or else I'll have just bought a very expensive pair of shelf ornaments! I was planning 5 miles today and only managed 3.5 as I had to cut down the run due to the lower leg ache. EEEEEEEEEK.
