So I ended the last post saying I needed new running shoes...
I got some!
Should just give hubby some credit here as he won some shopping vouchers for being part of the winning team in a fitness challenge at work last year and so I happily spent them today!
It was exceedingly exciting, I went to a sports shop and had a "gait assessment" this is nothing to do with garden gates but instead involved me running on a treadmill so that the man could assess how I ran. It turns out that I slightly turn in on my left ankle when I run. My right foot is fairly neutral which is good. This means I didn't need a cushioned trainer but just one with support. I also ended up with a cushioned insole. The man in the gloucester store of http://www.dwsports.com/stores was friendly, knowledgeable and unpatronising! He did though get a mouthful when I discovered that the store had no size 9 running trainers for women!!! I had to buy ugly mens running shoes!!! So unimpressed!!!
Anyway I'll give them a try this week and let you know how I go :)
