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

![[FESTIVE PARKRUN] Getting in the festive spirit with a (nearly) Christmas #parkrun at my local 5k event at @forestofmarstonvale Millennium Country Park.
It was rather wet and muddy today with huge puddles on the course, but I took it easy with a 5-1 run/walk approach and splashed my way through! π¦
I loved seeing all the outfits from other people running too - kudos to the guy running dressed as a giant Christmas cracker πππΌββοΈπ
