I recently spent a stupid amount of money on a new running cap. Given the demise of my banana hat and that it’s spring and no longer “woolly” hat season (my winter running hat isn’t actually woolly) I did actually need one. I wanted something running specific rather than just a cap JUST BECAUSE WHY NOT? I did look on Vinted, but second hand prices weren’t much cheaper and Våga seem like a good brand and worth supporting directly, plus it meant I could buy from my local running shop, which also seemed like a nice thing to be able to do; Although sadly I don’t think my £30 in almost three years is going to be a big help to them; When we moved to town from the city I did envisage being able to join a running club and being able to buy shoes at a shop, but life hasn’t really worked out that way.

Anyway, it’s done now. It is nice. I think I just finally cracked from trying to be so financially restrained all the time. I will regret it next month when it’s my third year anniversary of trying to save £75 up for a laptop.

I got a pink hat to go with my other pink running stuff and because I thought A would love it whereas she has always hated my banana hat - she said this one was even worse :-(. Can’t win.
