The usual two miles into work to start the day.
It was only when I got to work and got changed into my work clothes that I noticed …
More specifically, a pair of Hoka One One Cliftons.
I chose something with some cushioning to lessen the stress on my knee as a lot of my walking is on tarmac.
Tonight I would test them.
After work, I headed into a foggy Birmingham making my way to New Street Station where I caught a train to Coleshill Parkway.
The 16:52 Cambridge train left platform 10A on time and deposited me at Coleshill Parkway about ten minutes later.
On the platform, I dug the head torch from my pack, started the Garmin and set off for Hams Hall.
From Hams Hall, I made my way to Whitacre Heath before exploring the lanes around Hogrills End.
After a long stretch alongside the railway, I emerged at Shustoke reservoir. From here it was another mile to my favourite watering hole where I rewarded myself a couple of pints.
Tomorrow, I am seeing the knee specialist – watch this space.
