Notes

We got our new shoes / New Balance 882. Not too bad for my Hallux with not much pressure. Not as good as the Saucony but still well cushioned and comfortable to a certain extent. As time goes I expect that they will give in a bit which will make feet more comfortable.

I run 4 miles alongside Franc in the beautiful town of Ampleside / near Windermere in the Lakes. What a beautiful setting. Although weather was not that great it was a good day all around. We both felt very tired due to lack of sleep but quite satisfied with the result.

Ampleside has it's Ups & Downs and is a very attractive little town with many visitors over the weekend. The thing is both of us love the small steep hills and it is fun despite our tiredness.

We then indulged to a Nice Fish & Chips for me and a Veggie Burger & Chips for Franc finishing with two yummy Latte Coffees at Costa Café in Windermere.

It feels great to run on well cushioned shoes again. New Balance 882 is so much better fit than the 1080 although the latter is supposed to have better supports etc. It is so hard to get shoes nowadays and I am grateful I managed to get a pair and half the price as Jan is the month of Sales.

Both happy all around and now no excuse not to add more miles.
