You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
ついに新しいゲルカヤノを手に入れた！地元のデパートにあると思って探しに行ったけど、結局わたしのサイズは見つからず、ずっと買えずにいたんだ。
I finally got my hands on a new pair of Gel-Kayano running shoes! I’ve been meaning to get them for a while and first checked my local department store, but they didn’t have my size, which was a bit of a bummer.
その後すぐに風邪をひいてしまって、東京へ行く予定もキャンセルになったから、新しい靴を買うタイミングをすっかり逃してしまっていた。
Things got more complicated when I caught a cold right after that, forcing me to cancel a trip to Tokyo where I had planned to buy them. I felt like I kept missing my chance and that the timing was just never right.
今日は久しぶりにオフィスに出社したので、その帰り道に東京駅にあるアシックスの直営店に立ち寄って、ようやく念願の一足をゲットした。
Today was my first day back in the office in a while, so on my way home, I made a detour to the official ASICS store at Tokyo Station. I was so relieved to finally be able to purchase the pair I’d been wanting for so long.
ちょうどモデルチェンジの時期だったみたいで、わたしの足に合うのは限定カラーしかなく、予定より3000円ほど高くなってしまったのは少し残念。
It turned out to be right in the middle of a model change, so the only shoes available in my size were a limited-edition color. They ended up costing about 3,000 yen more than I expected, which was a slight disappointment.
でも、これで膝が痛くならない靴が手に入ったから、朝のランニングを再開するのが待ちきれない。風邪が治ってからの新しい朝が楽しみだ。
Still, now that I have proper shoes that won’t hurt my knees, I’m genuinely excited to resume my morning runs. I can’t wait to get back into my routine once this cold clears up. Consistency really is everything!
To be continued.
