Shopping with a side of running.

So running shoes purchased and a little bit of quick walking under my belt my thoughts have turned to what I will wear on race day. The running shoes unfortunately have pink on them which wasn't what I had planned but the nice boys at the running shop didn't have any trainers in the colours I wanted that were right for my feet.

I didn't realise before I begun this process how important the right running shoes are; having run up the high street - like a Barbie apparently - I was shown the shoes that were right for my style of running. So £'s lighter and 1 pair of ugly shoes later my feet are sorted and ready for training.

According to the marathon preparation advice thing I've found cotton is not good to run in; so my TopShop 3/4 leggings are out and I need to find some nice running trousers and a top. I was thinking of Charcoal Grey with a highlight of Turquoise - everyone wears black and white - but the pink running shoes have flawed my plan. maybe the pink ones will be training running shoes and I can look for ones to match my outfit for race day....

Tomorrow I will make my first attempt at running outside - with a marathon runner!!!!! Lets hope the weather is simpathetic to my needs..
