Just keep running

4 simple steps for an effective and shin splints free run!

My running shoes have finally gave in and died on me, we've had good and bad times but I'm sad to see them go! On the plus side I get to spend the evening looking at lovely new shoes to buy!   Anyone have any suggestions? I love Asics, my last pair were the Gel-Galaxy which did the job but as I've upped my weekly mileage over the past few months they've worn down pretty quickly! Looking at Asics Gel 1160 possibly... So until I pick a pair and they arrive I'm relegated to my old pair of Reeboks that have been hidden in the wardrobe for sometime!

After what has been a day of moping and feeling generally crap about things in general I manned up and dragged myself off to the gym to do a 5k run in 28mins, 20 mins on the rowing machine and some free weights and feel so much better for doing it! Get to see my boyfriend next week after what seems a lifetime so his few cheeky texts before I worked out really got me motivated to release some of this frustration ;) Now for some peppermint tea and a film!

The weather outside doesn't help either.
