Switchback hilly route

Nice hilly 4.5km this morning in mizzly rain. I had an adventure when I took a previously unexplored bridleway and landed up in Cornwell estate, which is a farm and a couple of cottages in the middle of nowhere. Wearing my lucky dragon scale leggings today. Apologies to anyone already having seen this on Strava or other groups.

Love the leggings!

They are by Sturdy by Design ❤️

Oh wow! They are just up the road from me!

[Hidden in reply to Equi-geek]

Go and look 😊 she has the best customer service on the planet. There is a community Facebook page too.

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I will, thanks!

At a quick glance I thought you'd run to Cornwall FlickM3! That sounds like a nice run away from the roads and traffic. Do your leggings come out in strict rotation or do you choose each day?

[Hidden in reply to Dexy5]

Haha yes, that would be one helluva run 😂

I choose every day. Sometimes I need warmer leggings and sometimes I want to wear a patterned warm top so need - gasp - plain black leggings (can’t mix different patterns even though you can’t see my top because I’m wearing a running jacket 😊) all this, of course, is hilarious because my everyday clothes are boring jeans or leggings with plain sweaters, and I would t have been seen dead in lycra pre running days and didn’t wear it to run in my teens xx

I was given a pair by my niece at Christmas. Not bright colours, but patterned all the same. They are Ronhill which seem to be the right length for me, compared to others which need turning up. I don’t feel the cold in my legs so much but I had my warmer top on today as well as my rain jacket to stop the wind going through.

Happy running

[Hidden in reply to Dexy5]

I like Ronhill stuff. Sturdy by Design does different lengths in leggings and capris, short, medium and tall. Happy running back at ya x 😊🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

Amazing leggings! Love them! What great scenery today - sounds like a fab run

[Hidden in reply to Equi-geek]

It was. It left me buzzing. Strangely I think it was the hills. That route was very steep and hilly and it seemed to get my system working.

Great run Flick and as for those leggings.....

[Hidden in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Thank you 😊 haha yes I’m very visible 😂

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Hmmmm maybe I should get some 😂😂

[Hidden in reply to ChrisAllen1]

You should, you should! X

Those are mighty fine leggings.... 😀. It made me giggle that they are your lucky ones. I have only 2 pairs... still such a newbie and in very dull colours too. May need to embrace my inner runner soon and go bright and bold.

[Hidden in reply to Wimborne]

Bright and bold is the way to go! It definitely encourages me to run 😂

[Tartancat Graduate10]

Loving the leggings Flick 😊

And you can't beat finding new places to run - it keeps it all fresh and exciting!

[Hidden in reply to Tartancat]

Absolutely . I love that sense of adventure in exploring new off road places. I’m terrible for getting lured by new footpaths and only looking at a map when I get home. I got totally lost in the summer and ended up going 12km in the heatwave, finding myself on a busy main road with no verges at one point

[Katnap Graduate10]

I saw your leggings photo and showed it to someone who was also doing parkrun tourism.

At first she asked if they were mine. I said no. She replied of course! You must've left your unicorn one's at home today 😁

...sigh

[Hidden in reply to Katnap]

Lol!

Unicorns, BTW, immediately say Tikiboo to me.

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

Great leggings for a great run!

[Hidden in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks Allie x

[TailChaser Graduate10]

I love your leggings Flick (& fab shoes btw 😉!). Mine, like Dexy’s, are Ron Hill (although for some reason they are two different lengths even though they are supposed to be the same!). Unlike Dexy, I get cold legs, so they are nice and snug for this time of year. Maybe I’ll treat myself when it starts getting warmer again. And maybe Katnap and I can have matching Unicorns...😁.

Fab run!

[Hidden in reply to TailChaser]

Thank you 😊 the shoes are my birthday ones, same as the blue ones I already have.

Matching unicorns sounds just the ticket 🦄

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Check out those awesome leggings Flick! 😍😍😍😍

[Hidden in reply to cheekychipmunks]

One of my favourites 😊❤️
