New running shoes

What I had been anticipating as a tricky day turned out fine. Matthew arrived before I was up and after breakfast, a second one for him, we went to see his dad. He had rallied overnight and was able to enjoy the visit, and this made it easier for Matthew.

Matt made arrangements to catch up with a Glasgow pal for lunch and I got a last minute yoga place.

An afternoon of planning with Ramblers for our Aviemore weekend which although not until September requires a fair bit of work now. Seven of us will be walking the Lairig Ghru with the Hillgoers who have assured us it’s entirely doable with good level of fitness. We will see.

And my new running shoes arrived. The is no tread left on my old ones, circa 2017. Delighted as ever to get a good deal - 50% reduction (and a free pair of socks) simply because they are 2022 colours. The forecast is pretty dreadful for tomorrow so I’m not planning to try them out at the Parkrun.

And now I need to do the blog for Wednesday’s Semple Trail.
