I feel like tonight should be constructed primarily of an eighties movie training montage complete with 'Eye of the Tiger' blaring in the background. At 7:30pm, I'm heading to BMF. I'm actually a combination of very excited to be trying something new and very nervous that I won't be good enough. But that's what the Blue Bibs are for, right?
As someone in the BMF Facebook group said 'don't worry, we all wheeze in the Blues!' Sage advice if I ever heard it.
I purchased some new trainers on the way home from work last night. They're called Skechers D'Lites and they're so bouncy I have to stop myself from running when I'm wearing them. I didn't realise how important a good pair of running shoes are for proper exercise.
Basically, being a bit 'alternative', I prefer the skate shoe as opposed to the running shoe. Because of this, I never realised how flat-footed skate shoes are. It makes sense, really. Skate(boarding) shoes are designed to be flat so that you can balance on your board and don't bounce off when you do an ollie or a flip. Running shoes are designed to help you build up trajectory and keep you light-footed.
Plus they were only £45, which was a decent amount. I wore them into work to break them in (given that brand new trainers, however comfortable, need wearing in). Right well that's all I have to say now, I will update on the morrow with the inevitable aches and pains and hopefully a feeling of satisfaction.
