As I feel like I need to spend more time on my feet before attempting to follow a half marathon training plan, the aim on Sunday morning was to complete a 10k run-walk training session.

The weather was perfect (wet and mild) but my legs unfortunately had other ideas. People always assume that having long legs is an advantage as a runner; it isn’t when they aren’t functioning properly. I ended up bailing out of my run when I reached 5k.

At least I can run at the moment.

In the afternoon I headed into Birmingham on the train and found myself in the trainers/dodgy sports shoes section of TK Maxx (it’s amazing when this happens).

Hidden away in the clutter I spotted these Salomon trainers.

When I saw that they were large enough for my boats and only cost £10 I decided to buy them.  At £10 what could possibly go wrong?
