New Shoes

Another week and 100 km later - decided to try out those trail shoes some are raving about. Love the fact that there are no shoe lashes anymore - quite cool system and the titanium plate in the sole makes it so much easier to run over those rocks.

Unfortunately they only sold the normal size here and the shoe became a bit tight after a couple of hours running - so may have to go for the extra wide option with my next pair – don’t want to hurt in the desert unnecessarily.

There will be for sure another shoe, as I still have 3 months of training to go and this means another 1000 km to cover.

Fundraising dinner is slowly filling up so please book your seat(s) soon and help in the process The Fred Hollows Foundation saving someone else eyesight. http://www.run4vision.com/special.php
