new treads

The shin pain was getting quite bad so today i treated my legs to a proper pair of running shoes. Not anything daftlyfancy, but at least better than the North Face Hedgehogs i've been using so far (which aren't for running).

had a fantastic run tonight, despite the rain. i can literally feel myself improving every time i hit the tarmac*. today i could've done my session all over again, but i stuck to my guns and followed the training program religiously.

a day off tomorrow, then it's saturdaymorningbikeridetime <grin>

*probably contributing to the shin pain but the alternative is running in waterlogged playing fields avoiding dog poo.
