An easy 7-miler as I am not racing Aztec West this evening (though I will be helping out), and my last run in this pair of shoes. They have managed over 400 miles since my first run in them at the end of May this year. It’s my third pair of New Balance 1080v3 shoes that I have owned. The previous white pair are being held for use in the Sodbury Slog, and the previous blue pair went for recycling. This pair might go to Kenya but will need a bit of a wash first (and may be too far gone). My last pair of the v3s only has another 30 miles or so left in them, then I will have fully transitioned to the v5s (skipping out v4).

I finished off my podcasts on this run, so have started listening to Welcome To Night Vale (yes, I am behind the times). Not one to listen to before going to sleep, but rather spooky to listen to through the Staple Hill tunnel, I think I am going to enjoy it.
