One of the perks of having volunteered to be part of the Shape Up Notts campaign was the promise of running kit sponsored by New Balance - including the all-important shoes. It really wasn't clear what other items of clothing we could expect but as I headed for Wollaton Hall for a quick photo-shoot yesterday (Sunday 22 Feb) I hoped they might be warm and baggy.
I had somewhat optimistically ordered sizes Medium in both tops and bottoms but as I wrestled trying to get just one leg into the black lycra I admitted defeat and resorted to my tracky bottoms. The tops however slipped on nicely and being bright red with fetching flashes of black and grey cut a dash on the Wollaton slopes.
As well as having our picture taken for the Evening Post we were there to meet Steve Lloyd, triathalon coach who would be preparing our training plans and keeping an eye on our progress. I also notice from his card he advises on diet. How can I avoid pancakes tomorrow?
I must say the New Balance running shoes are so comfy I could wear them round the house and not notice. No wonder I had found jogging in my tennis shoes a pain - clearly the right kit is going to see me round 13 miles if nothing else.
