Kit

One of the things about new hobbies that makes them so fun is the kit.  Thinking over the things I like doing in my spare time, many of them are kit-dependent.  All that camping stuff, walking stuff, camera stuff.  Mostly you can add one extra little bit of kit every so often.  Playing the tuba is perhaps the only different one, where there was one enormous piece of kit.

I didn't think there'd be too much for running - it's just me, outside, running after all and I was inspired by natural running.  That said, I've certainly bought new shoes, new socks, extra sports tshirts and shorts, a (£10) running watch, an arm band to carry my ipod, a magazine or two about running, and I'm currently looking for a good app on my phone.  I haven't yet found myself lusting after the equivalents of my icebreaker walking tops or my lovely macro lens yet though.

But watch this space.
