Today was quite possibly one of the best shopping trips in the history of the world. On a blistering day of 43oC, I met D at work and [after a cheeky Corona] we sped off towards the local Metropolis, Barrie. Our first stop was Cookstown Outlet Mall. As many will know, the word 'outlet' is synonymous with the word 'bargain' and as my running shoes had been condemned by Darren a couple of days before due to a hole the size of a small rodent on the side of them, I was keen to get a new pair.

Darren advised we head straight for the adidas outlet. I was keen to try some adidas trainers as I was sure, despite the years and years of running and trainer-abuse, I was yet to sample a pair. The outlet shop was HUGE and full of goodies. Trainer shopping is not one of my favorite activities and my purchasing strategy is always 'try-and-buy' the first pair I see (I run so much, they always fall apart after a couple of months)
Darren had, unbeknown to me, taken us directly to sports-shoe heaven. I found a pair within approximately 3 seconds; tried them on and had them rung through before D had had a chance to peruse the T-short section.
The trainers are a total success and I am hoping will lead me to victory in the Autumn race bonanza.
We also had time to pop into the hallowed Chapters and as Darren had some air miles tokens to use up, we picked up Ted Reader's new burger book! Many more nights of Ted's BBQ genius to come!
And now a stable on every Barrie trip, we popped into Mucho Burrito for a quick snack; The best fast food joint in town. http://www.muchoburrito.com/
A brilliant shopping trip indeed!
