I am going into the city today to check out Newton Running Shoes. @ironbrandon and @steverunner have convinced me to give forefoot a try.
@ironbrandon It’s at hert.com.au. They’ve got a beginners running course starting up in Oct too, so I may do that. BRING ON THE MARATHON! 🙂
Ok @ironbrandon, I now have some (very ugly) Newtons! Now what? Start slow, I’m guessing.

I’ll be fine for like 15 minutes, then have an unbelievable coughing jag. Really sucks when someone is trying to demo code at their desk.
Just got home – without my new running shoes. I must be sicker than I thought. I HOPE LIKE HELL I left ’em sitting in the office. 🙁
Chemist didn’t want to give me codeine. Said I should just cough it all up. I told her I MUST SLEEP, so she relented. In bed now.
3.30am. Codeine wore off. Unable to stop coughing. Nothing working. Poor Snook; I’m ruining his sleep too.
I eventually got back to sleep, but I had to practically OD on codeine to do it. The comedown is not nice. But at least I got some sleep.
And hey! My voice is coming back! Maybe my co-workers will stop making phone sex jokes now.
@stufromoz Exactly. The consensus was that I’d make a great ‘sexy Russian housewife.’
