My New Recruit

Went queensway today with Sen and val and bought my wife a new pair of running shoes. Always wanted her to start running for various reasons, keep fit, toning, company etc etc...
She already has a pair of quite new adidas lying at home now, but becoz i want her to run regularly, i didn't feel the adidas would be serving the function well. It look more of an all purpose not here nor there shoe. So i haf wanted to get her a proper pair.
Becoz she would mainly start off running in the range of 2km +-, so i was thinking getting something entry level that can do the job and upgrade accordingly to her progress. Shopped around, tried Saucony, New Balance, Adidas, none fit the bill, you know gals, design is very impt. (Not only for them, applies to me too.)
Finally Asics caught her eye. Colour was girly enough, fit was gd... Val bought an identical pair too. (Actually main mission we went down was to make val buy a pair too, to facilitate sen forcing her to start running to... hehe)
BUT! this kuku pair so shoes more expensive than my pair of asics. Buay tahan... Kuku name summore - GT 2130. Wat kinda name is that compared to mine - Speedstar 3. Still cost more.....

Heres the pic of her GT 2130.

After buying new shoes sure morale high, haha... human nature. So off we go for her first run in her first pair of proper running shoes once we got home.

Wifey ran - 2.5km
I ran - 7.2km

Nevermind, at least its a start, everything is planned for... will increase her mileage over time... kekeke.

ps: OMP if you are reading this, dun think you can escape.
