New Shoes Sunday

After spending another hour or so at the shops I finally made a decision and bought a new pair of shoes. It all began this morning when I decided that I would make a trip to Intraining, quite a drive from where I live but I was having no luck at the other stores.

Anyway half way there I realised I forgot the street directory and was only going off memory of the address for the store. I hadn't been there before and after cutting a few laps of Milton I still haven't been to the store.

I drove back to Chermside a rather large shopping centre and visited the same shops, taking my adventure a bit more serious now. I wasn't leaving until I had a pair. After walking around I realised that getting another pair of Adidas was near impossible, the stores are only stocking the base models which is no good for me.

I tried on a pair of New Balance and although I liked how they are made they are a little chunky. I arrived at a smaller sports shop which was my last resort. I noticed yesterday that they had one pair of Adidas I liked but when I asked for my size they only had a pair 1/2 a size larger. Doh! I then spotted a pair of Saucony's, I had forgotten about this brand and I really liked the look of them. I tried them on.....Perfect!

So I am now a proud owner of Saucony Triumph 3 in green/white/silver. Here's a pic of them however the colour is different.

The last time I had a pair of Saucony's was when I first joined the Army almost 10 years ago. Back then I broke 8 mins for the first time for my 2.4km fitness assessment running 7.55. 12 months later I beat that time running 7.49 in the same pair of shoes. Hopefully I will get the same luck out of these ones :-)
