Cor, what a brilliant mum! You must have had a right laugh as a kid. Laughter is my life raft, my medicine, my nourishment and currently all I’ve got that no one can take away from me (oh but how they try though!). It works wonders and it’s never very far away if only you can be bothered to look for it. Jokes or no jokes, there is humour in any life situation, even the most tragic ones.

Nope, not new shoes. And I’d had several OK runs with the elastic laces… but as they are the newest ‘change’ they are the first to go.

Peter – hope you are taking something for that cough, and hope it’s not catching.

Not got new running shoes, have you? Or running longer than usual distances in them? I had a pair of running shoes (Adidas, fyi) which were fine up until about 15 minutes running and then they killed. Eventually had to swap the shoes.

I am the person in the running shoe shop running for 15 minutes on their treadmill…

The foot thing sounds familiar – oddly enough, I get (or used to get, haven’t done this for a while) a similar pain when I was doing a long-distance drive.

It’s (usually) something to do with the foot being in a new/odd position, and not being used to it, so the muscles are tensed in ‘wrong’ ways, which then hurts.

Herself also reckons/reckoned it might be due to insufficient support of the arch of the foot, thus making it bend in ‘wrong’ or unsupported places.

Hope it gets better soon though – I know it can be pretty bloody sore!
