Just earned my yellow laces!
Just earned my yellow laces!
I'm so happy. When I got my running shoes they came with two sets of laces. One of them was bright yellow. I felt so self conscious starting out that I wouldn't put the yellow laces near my shoes. I made a deal with myself. . . If I run 5k in 30 mins or less I get to wear the yellow laces because I'll be a runner and proud of it rather than hoping nobody would see me.
Today I ran a sub 30 min 5k. I'm off to put on my yellow laces now and I haven't even finished the program. Thank you get running.

That's fab. I love the idea of flashy yellow laces as a reward

Re: Just earned my yellow laces!
Maybe we can get this into running protocol, if you have yellow laces you can run 5K in 30 mins?
i'm off to buy a load of yellow laces to put on E-bay!
Edit :- Sorry , Well Done !!

Re: Just earned my yellow laces!
I'm going to buy some Yellow laces if I can find some.
i too have just started week 4 , really enjoying it now, want to run everyday but I'm going to stick to the program.

I've just got these, mostly because they state the sizes, I need 140cm [they also have 100cm]

Re: Just earned my yellow laces!
Lmao. Seeing those yellow laces on the shelf every day was certainly motivating for me though. I hope you make your fortune on them on eBay Gareth. I wonder what colour you get for 10 k? Thanks all for the support! I'll be looking out for other people wearing yellow laces everywhere I go now and wondering if they are 5k runners too.

Re: Just earned my yellow laces!
Just to be clear, i'm NOT selling laces on E-bay!!
Its a motivation though to have them ready to put in
What about RED for 10K , BLUE for Half Marathon & PURPLE for Marathon? Other distances could be slotted in as you wish!
