Starting

Early Saturday morning, in the glorious winter sunshine, James I went to Runathon in Surrey Street in Croydon. They are official stockists of the New Balance Moonwalk trainers. Fifteen minutes later I was the proud, if somewhat nervous, owner of a pair of New Balance 859 Moonwalk trainers. Thanks to Newitts for their picture! They are swanky, with Pink laces. I also purchased expensive technical socks!
So last night I went to the gym, wearing them!
I have been doing a bit of walking on the treadmill but nothing too focussed. After a 15 minute cycle and some weights I plugged myself into Kanye West's Graduation and walked for twenty minutes, on a 1 % gradient. I tried to focus on technique and the more I walked the more I realised I need to get outside and walk properly. The treadmill automatically limits your speed. Anyhow I had managed 2.35 km in twenty minutes. If I keep this up I am walking at 7km or just over 4 miles an hour. I am happy with this start and ready to try outdoors at the weekend.
The shoes were lovely! H x
