Niketastic

I care not if this is deemed as product placement. That is exactly what it is and my sole intention is to sponsored by said company and not have to pay over £80 for my running trainers (I have 5 pairs of NIKES). Between these 5 pairs I've run over 1,500 miles and the dark blue pair, my latest addition, will have 500 miles in them before March in the lead up to the Marathon (please note NIKE I'll be running in your trainers, shorts, cycling shorts, socks - your brand all over me). I'll then have a new pair (of NIKES) run in for the big day. I notice a great deal of people are having a little groan about the weather... tut tut. This is the best running weather. Chilly and damp. Bye bye 30 degrees and not breathing hello cooler temperatures and PBs. (Yes that's right NIKE - PBs).

First half marathon of the season this weekend (with NIKES on) and for once there will be no dodgy hamstrings following football.

Last but certainly not least - I'm a size 9 NIKE...
