I think I can, I think I can...

I have pretty new running trainers.

Rather than fork out the $180 (not including 15% tax) for the latest Nike Tailwinds, I was pleased to discover -- quite by accident -- that a sports store downtown had new shoes from previous years that were never sold.

So I have Tailwinds from two years ago. They are white, with blue and reflective shit (no, not literally) on them. They were $99. I was delighted.

So I'm going to undertake running once again. Start slow -- at the gym and on the treadmill. I tried doing this last February, and completely destroyed my two big toes (and learned that I have unfortunately inherited my father's penchant for only being able to run in Nike shoes. Something about the way our toes are shaped). It's only been during the last month that I've been able to justify buying new trainers.

So it will be all horrible and embarassing for at least a month. I wish I had smallers tits.

If all goes well, I'll be able to start running outdoors once spring arrives. Cross your fingers for me. It's been years since I was in peak running form. I plan to rectify that.
