So after a year of hard work my ASICS have seen better days. For the uninititiated they are trainers , yep the same trainers that got me through the Cardiff Half Marathon last year , the same trainers I lugged all over the country to various hotels to lanquish unused with the rest of my PE kit whilst I enjoyed myself at the bar. I thought it was about time to get a new pair .....no I'm not doing a half marathon again but I've started to get a bit of knee pain. I keep telling Dave that it's just where I haven't been out of bed long enough but I reckon it's coz the trainers have done their miles and need retiring. But what to get ...it's a trainer jungle out there!
Moti to the rescue . I've been videoed at least 8 times in 8 different trainers to make sure the I've got just the right support , I may not be pounding the pavements like last year but apparently the cross trainer can do just as much damage if you don't have the right support. Who knew???? I'm now the proud owner of a bright blue pair of New Balance and I was well chuffed at the sub £80 price tag!! Result! Think I'll wear them to my PT with Dave tomorrow oh yes and I need to take my iPhone ! Paddy Cunningham has challenged me to take weekly pictures. You have been warned .....they may contain images of pain, sweat and possibly puke!!!!
In a more pleasant vein I have had my first meal containing my sprouty things. I bought a Jamie Oliver kit from Homebase on Saturday and I harvested my first lot today......think it was cress or could have been alfalfa :) whatever it was I enjoyed it although I did get a few stomach cramps after lunch. Something I've never had before but I reckon it was just wind ........paaarrrrp!!!!!
This is turning in to more of an adventure that I had planned ....oh yes and tomorrow I make the telephone call
