Hey all, hope you have all had a great week so far!
I am feeling loads better since my food poisoning incident ha ha. My first run back was last Thursday, I only managed 3.5 miles I still felt tired, but I was determined to get back to doing the long runs on the weekend. I set out on Saturday with Michelle to do 10 miles but we both agreed to see how we felt along the way and cut it short if we needed to. We did 9.5 miles in the end, I was really pleased with that as been as I was ill the week before! I felt good on the run up until the last mile where I struggled more mentally I think than physically, plus it was a hot one, which is always worse as the heat really takes it out of you. I’m going to have to get used to the heat, as my marathon training starts in 3 weeks arghhhhh!!
I’ve still got a few niggles especially in my left leg, so I decided it was probably time for some new trainers to see if that helps. I’ve had my old ones for 6 months now and they say that they should be changed every 6 months, so i’m hoping this new pair will help sort my niggles out and see me through my marathon!
Well your not going to miss me running in these hot pink trainers are you ha ha!

They feel lovely and fit perfectly, I hope they will do me proud on my 11 mile run this Saturday :0) If you are in need of new running trainers make sure you go somewhere they will fit you properly and suggest the best ones for you, as I over pronounce when running and these are one of the best trainers for me to support the over pronouncing.
I saw this on one of the sites I follow on Facebook this week, I thought it was a great guide and thought I’d put it in my blog this week for you all to have a read if your just starting out running or the motivation is fading.
