Lucky pants - well, running shorts!

Here are the lucky shorts in question - the 'mambo' from SturdybyDesign. I was propelled into buying them by Flick's recent recommendation and accidentally bought a top to go with them. Lovely deep waistband, no riding up in awkward places (like my other shorts) and positively groovy!

Why lucky? Well I had only managed two 3k uphill killer runs at 7am in Greece over the last 2 weeks and expected my first run back home to be rubbish. The mambos however had other ideas and pushed me on to do 5k in 34.12 - a time which I haven't seen for several months! (I think my pace has slowed overall on the 10k plan but am ok with slow & steady for that). I suspect those hills (which were also walked up regularly) plus swimming & snorkeling everyday may have given the old pins a work out too though.

So the picture is a request from Flick - headless cos the photographer claimed you could see more of the shorts that way!

Wishing everyone many happy runs in your lucky pants or shorts! 😀

Aren't they great? and you look FAB!!!! And look what they are doing for your running :) I have the matching top with my aurora capris and love it; so comfortable and looks really good. Brilliant tan you have there too Missus! Shame we can't see your face - all your photographer had to do was stand further away ;) x

Ah thanks, Flick. The tan is fading already sadly - I'm not too denanding, just a bit of sun here would be nice! I updated my profile pic from the canal path to me so there is a name to a face! 😊 x

I think my running gear has become more colourful as I've progressed. I was definitely doing C25K as inconspicuously as possible all in black!
