running (Blackwood forest) 43:00 [3]
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon bluegreen
3 laps of the pine forest trying to lift my legs over as much stuff as possible, but also trying to break in the new(ish - last weekend Cath was looking around for someone who would buy Aiofe's outgrown size 4.5s) X-Talons, which sadly don't have as wide/stable a footing as the originals and so I was worried about my ankles rolling - although they do have more than 6mm heel drop so should be better for my calves. The window in between finally having warmed up and being completely stuffed wasn't very large but I enjoyed the bit where I felt good. Also the bit where I stopped to talk to Loreen and throw a ball for Shiloh.
