I’ve had two days off work (public holidays) and yesterday morning, as it was absolutely pouring it down with rain, I decided to go to the local shopping centre for a wander and look. WHY…WHY..WHY I actually don’t like shopping and ended up with a coffee reading my latest running material “Feet in the clouds” (will post a review of it in due course but even after the first few pages I can tell you it is a first class read).

Today I did some real shopping which I enjoyed….I was let loose in a running shop….oh joy…. Mr Visa is still hyperventilating.

I am now the proud owner of a new Camelbak Flashflo waist hydration pack which I have coveted for quite some time. And, as you do, I managed to also acquire a couple of new pairs of shorts. I have been wearing the same baggy Ronhill shorts for years on end and decided to launch myself into a little Nike lycra number and a nice pair of Sugoi. Nike pair have already been road tested and were dead comfy.

As some one once said on a forum, you know you’re a runner when you own more fitness clothes than normal ones (and I could add that you only really enjoy shopping in a running shop!!)
