After the disaster with my heat rash or allergy last weekend I am now better prepared for the heat … I hope !

We made a visit to Advanced performance this morning and was well looked after, getting lots of advice on trail shoes.

They had a good stock, where due to there gait analysis we were able to purchase the shoes most suitable for our feet and way of walking.

I settled on a pair of bright red mizuno trail shoes, as usual I had to have mens shoes and in a size 9 1/2, so they don’t look that elegant but then I am after comfort rather than looks.

Unfortunately they have a great selection of running gear too and I could not resist new shorts and a very girlie bright pink t – shirt, along with new running socks 🙂

Of course all this kit will make me run much faster when I do my Race for life event in July

Later in the day we visited the new Cotswold shop in Cambridge , this was a big mistake !

I have been thinking about upgrading my day Ruc-sac for a while , I was after a more up to date one which meant it would be lighter and have the new air flow system, making it cooler.

I  found one today that I really liked so now I am the proud owner of a Deuter Spectro AC  28 , in Red to match my shoes of course 🙂

So with a selection of walking socks and some Clarityn Allergy tablets I am well prepared for tomorrows walk 🙂

I will be eating baked beans for the next few weeks but that fine as its only 3 weeks till we go to Italy and I still have a little bit more weight to loose 🙂
