They glow in the dark!!

I loooovvvee buying new runners.

I love the first time you head out for a run in your brand new shoes, you feel like you could almost qualify for the Olympics because you are running so fast (o.k. slight exaggeration but I’m sure you know what I mean).

Recently I bought these gems…

The 'out there' triathlete shoe uses the iconic ASICS Tiger Stripe combined with a wild multi- colour midsole and glow in the dark heel counter!

Not only are they bright and fun they GLOW IN THE DARK!

Now you can look good while running day and night, what more could a girl / guy want?

2 weeks and 3 days!

In 2 weeks and 3 days I will attempt to complete the BIGGEST athletic race of my life!

I have been training for months now, there have been a lot of early mornings, tired eyes, tears, doubts and some moments where I catch myself saying “maybe you have overestimated your ability this time Kate”.

The start line is in my sight, excitement is building and with only a handful of ‘meaty’ training sessions to go I am starting to relax a little and I’m also starting to trust that I have done enough training to get me through.

I am certainly looking forward to the challenge ahead of me in 2 weeks and 3 days time. I am looking forward to sharing my accomplishment with all those who have supported me along the way (too many to name in this post, I will list them in another one soon).

On this 1/2 ironman journey I have learnt many things about myself, what I like and don’t like, environments I thrive in and how to listen / trust my body more.

If I could mention one stand out realisation it would be that I now know I am a happier person when I am surrounded by like minded, goal-orientated people, the image below captures a great moment with some very inspirational ~~people~~ athletes.
