David and Katherine Goodwin

While its not strange for me to get exited about new shoes, its rare that I'm excited about new trainers, and even rarer that I spend so much money on them (unless they're leather and knee-high!).

However, at the weekend David and I finally dragged ourselves over to Up and Running in Wolverhampton as we both needed new trainers. I hadn't had any in over a year, and was starting to feel they were not really springy when I was running. For David, as he runs pretty much every day, it was his 3-4 month change.

Anyway, after some trying on, David and I left the shop a good £170 lighter - with 2 pairs of trainers and a very very bright running top for David. I bought this pair (although mine are an attractive shade of blue it seems to be the same model)

Yesterday morning I went for a short run around our estate, and they felt really comfortable. I'll have to see how much they help at running club on Wednesday.
