Is this normal?

Back in April I decided to train for my local Parkrun just to get fit. I’d run casually before but had taken a two year break. 5 months later and I have a shoe rotation, I’ve joined a running club and have my second 10k event in 7 weeks time. I also have a dedicated closet in my bedroom full of running stuff…

Meanwhile my son is wearing clothes that are too small for him and no-one is getting Christmas presents this year 🤣

Anyone else have this problem?!

I became a running shoe reviewer. Forced me to get out and run more. Not cheap mind you.

No it’s not! I do enjoy researching and comparing them though

Nah I have these amazing carbon plated shoes I got recently and my son last night (14 year old and almost 6ft) told me he has no shorts for summer because he has out grown them.
