I wore my old Mizuno WH3s.

aren't they the new ones?.

Ha! No, I have a shiny brand new pair and an old-ish (holed) pair. My really old ones went the way of all flesh last year. Current line-up:

- Old WH3 (blue & yellow) - hanging on in there
- Ancient Mizuno road boots bought in Connemara before the Ultra - knackered
- New WH3 (Black with lime tinges)
- New Ascend 7s (red, likely to remain unworn)

I'm in the market for a top road race shoe for Brighton. This may well turn out to be the Mizuno road equivalent of the WH3, a minimumal cushioned, lightweight shoe that I would keep for Brighton, P2P and Almeria 2014 only. Sounds a little indulgent perhaps, but I see the sense in that plan.

Thanks re: Mum. Every day she makes a little progress. We hope to get her home later this week or early next. She will need an awful lot of care. Luckily we're a caring bunch.
