No! No! November...
Ah . . . shoes! I might just be the Imelda Marcos of the running world. I have to look away when ads pop up for new shoes on running sites, cross the street to avoid the magnetic pull of sports shops. I'm getting better these days . . . I'm only really seduced by hardcore offies. I'd love a pair of Walsh's, proper mountain marathon shoes. Hard to justify when all I get into is a bit of mud and the odd sliver of slippery flint.
Right now my Mizuno's are cutting the mustard, nice block soles, minimal cushioning (must lose some weight!), robust uppers that whilst not waterproof do seem capable of shrugging off thick mud with ease.
Roadwise I'm not fussed. I hate road running (and may never return to long distances on the hardtops). I've got comparable Mizuno roadies and they're fine for 10 Ks and halfs. Brookes did come out with a corking offroader in the Adrenaline series but the latest version don't work for me. I like Addidas too, despite them getting into bed with Chelsea. Nike have never appealed, perhaps because the only pair I ever owned (pre-RC days) were a size too small and squished my feet.
Right. That's enough outta me on shoes already . . . :o
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
