So, with my exercise regime being almost non-existent for the last year, I finally decided to sign up for the Brighton Half Marathon; a good way to force myself into exercise again! Although not long after signing up, the dreaded thought of failure started to creep in. I just signed up to a 13.1 mile run! I can’t even run for the bus these days without breaking into a sweat! HELP!
My husband, who is a keen runner, assured me I would be fine as long as I train – SO TRAIN I WILL! With this in mind, I headed down to Sweatshop a lovely running shop in town. They did a 'gait analysis' on my running style (helps runners to find the right shoe through assessing the movement of your foot, leg and body’s movement). They suggested the right running shoes that best suited my running style and also made me a pair of custom soles for my shoes. To be fair, all the technology talk went a bit above my head, I just picked the prettiest pair I could find!
So with my sparkly new running shoes I feel ready to tackle the Brighton Half Marathon! I am running with my husband and a few friends, I’m not setting myself a time just yet, I’m just hoping to finish!
