The weather is still cold, windy and definitely un-spring-like! But I did pretty well with my runs this week, with only one indoors π
Good Friday's run was the longest distance I've gone so far, so there was a big sense of achievement about completing that! I went to Bushy Park again- it's definitely becoming one of my favourite places to run.
I bought some new running shoes on Saturday- I've had my current ones since I started running about a year ago, and I also wanted another pair so I can have one clean and one dirty for the times when I do run on the treadmill - I hate traipsing mud into the gym!
I went to Sweatshop in Teddington, and they did their gait analysis and kitted me out with the Brooks Ravenna - I love the colours! They also won Runner's World Best Buy for March 2013 with some great reviews, so I'm feeling pretty positive about the choice.
They're a similar level motion control shoe to the Mizuno Wave Nexus that I have been running in- the latest comparable Mizuno model is the Wave Inspire which I tried along with an Adidas pair, but settled on the Brooks in the end. Sweatshop offer a 30 day return guarantee so if after running in them they don't feel right, I'm able to take them back and change them. Plus with my Park Run barcode I got 10% off- awesome!
Can't wait to take them for a test ride run! π

![[GRUFFALO] Exploring the #Gruffalo Party Trail @forestryengland Salcey Forest, celebrating 25 years of the Gruffalo!
Arthur is Gruffalo OBSESSED at the moment, so this was the perfect trail for us to walk together as a family, stopping to complete the activities and enjoying the beautiful autumn colours π
We missed the Gruffalo sculpture halfway round - not sure if there was a signpost - and someone's legs were a bit too small to walk the whole 1-mile route, but we enjoyed the den building area and wooden enchanted houses en route. Good places to stop for a sit down and a snack! π
