I have mentioned this many times on this site, but it still seems to trouble me how we are being ripped off in Australia by retail running outlets. Now I don't dispise people making a profit and building a business, but there is business and reasonable margins and then mark ups of 600% etc. A friend of mine at work has taught me the mantra 'Though shalt never again shop retail' -this is so true. I mean why indeed would I want to go into a shop to be hassled by a sales assistant (most of them profess to be runners, but when you scratch the surface all they run is a few miles a week and the odd fun run).
No thanks - I love the freedom of partrolling websites free from the annoying chants of, 'Can I help you?' or 'Are you alright there?'. Yes shopping on the internet anytime I like for any shoes I like is just my idea of a dream come true.
Loving the internet shopping - it is like Xmas only you know what you are getting and also know how much it cost!
Running together - stride for stride on a life changing ride!
