Shoes

MLCM mentioned the other day that he had been using a pair of Brooks Adreneline trainers. These happen to be what I use for running on the road. I bought them over a year ago although I’ve only just started using them for the activity that they were designed for. I’d been using them for general walking around until now and had bought them for several reasons.
 

1. I need a decent sized wedge of springy, synthetic material between me and the ground for running on hard surfaces, road, concrete, pavement, cycleways, etc.. the fatter, the better. I wanted something for the road and only the road.
   
2. They were a nice colour, blue and shiny.
   
3. They were comfortable and bouncy.
   
4. They were blue and shiny.
   

 
Now this simple act of buying a pair of shoes was a big step for me. I think it was the first time I’d bought a pair of road runners since my trusty shoe dealer closed his shop (Raizor Blue where are you?) Glad that they seem to be a decent pair of shoes as well as a nice colour.

Up and down the pool
Up and down the pool
EE-I-AD-EE-O
Up and down the pool
 
40 lengths with frequent stops to avoid crashing into other swimmers.
This soft, low impact water can only be good for you.
 
Tomorrow, a date with Monte Pajariel.
