At least my feet are Pro! :)

On Friday I took a trip to London to meet with the team at ProFeet. Profeet is a specialist company who make customised insoles for use with running and cycling shoes and also ski boots. I met up with Jono and we spent two hours analysing my gait, foot strike, various muscle imbalances (I have one leg shorter than the other?!) and moulded the results into the perfect customised insole for my foot. ProFeet have agreed to provide a customised insole for both my running and cycling shoe aswell as provide my trainers for the challenge. As I have narrow ankles but fat feet Jono fitted me into Mizuno trainers which I have never used before but they seem very comfortable and I can't wait to get out and try them. I will try and build up in them slowly but as Jono declared my other trainers 'totally shot(!)' I may have no other choices!

It was a fantastic and very interesting experience and I want to thank the team so much for the time they took with me and also the support they have offered.

On Saturday, despite wanting to play in my new shoes, I decided I would be better off cycling as I am still trying to stay off my legs before of the last-ditch possibility of a swim this weekend. So Adam and I headed to Woburn for a 19mile cycle round some of the roads I use to commute and their tributaries. It was actually a really nice ride with not too many busy patches and I enjoyed it. I do like cycling and I think it really helps to have Ad with me as it is lovely doing something together and I feel much safer. So, as long as his enthusiasm continues I am set! Got back early evening so nothing to do but shower, eat and early to bed!
