Hi all,
another new member here from the UK, currently living in Southampton, home of the Titanic, although I hope my attempts to run will have more success than that.
I recently picked up a pair of VFF's in the USA because they were dirt cheap and I used to enjoy running (20years ago I was in the top 5 cross country runners for my age in my county), but had fallen off the wagon. Normally, I'd do a lot of internet research into a product before buying them, but they were just so darn cheap in REI that I paid first and did the research later.
With that research came a few references to a certain book (I'm sure you can guess which), which I read through very quickly and did some more reading elsewhere.
On my return to the UK, I decided to take up running again to keep fit (we also bought a home cross-trainer for rainy days), and, in an effort to give myself motivation and something to aim for have recently signed up to the Great South Run 10miles in late October, and my intention is to do the whole run in my Bikilas. Am comfortably up to 3mile runs in my local area and looking to increase that bit by bit before the run.
Looking forward to joining into this little community.
