My first ever pair of running shorts 🩳🩳🩳arrived today and they fit, yaay! I just need some sunshine now β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

Nice photo of that van, most of us runners do hopefully have a healthy diet, OK I do have fish and chips on a Monday, but fish is healthy, not sure about the chips, I am glad that you enjoyed your run today, well done.

Hi Rebecca, Thank you, it went fairly well thanks, they didn’t give up a full feedback though, we left for a funeral at one and they were gone by the time we got back, next excitement CQC lol, but not for a few weeks

I’ve never had such tanned legs than since I started running, it’s just another benefit x

No problem Grasshopper πŸ˜‚

Just a gentle 5k or maybe 6k next time, be kind to my old legs. I’ve signed up for the Vitality 10,000 for May, so I’m going to work on improving my 10k time soon. I had a day off work today, but I was a lazy lump and haven’t done a lot.

It’s great to hear you’re able to run again without that tightness in your chest x

9weeks2Run profile image
9weeks2RunGraduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix

πŸ˜† That is fantastic that you have signed up for the Vitality 10k in May great to have goals to work to. You will smash it. I wonder if it will be a virtual 10k this year.

That’s good you have had a rest day sometimes not doing a lot is very much needed.

Yes it is really promising, it is amazing the difference running just 8 minutes makes to your feeling of well being, running is so amazing. I will be so thrilled to run a 5k again.

Take care x

Aah! Fabulous news...so glad you’re having no chest problems. πŸ₯°

My daughter got me some running gear for Mother’s Day, but said she thought I may feel that β€œI wasn’t ready yet” for wearing shorts πŸ˜‚

9weeks2RunGraduate10 in reply to LottieMW

Thank you so much Lottie, I am so delighted and feeling so hopeful.

Aw that is so nice, what great presents. lol I am sure you would look great in them! I am very self conscious about wearing shorts but am going for it!!

I am getting a new running top from my son, I have wanted it for ages. It is so nice to get new running clothes isn’t it. I have already seen another pair of running leggings and a top that I want to treat myself too when I complete C25K.

Enjoy your next run x

That's fantastic Rebecca! πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ An no chest tightness - you must feel on top of the world!

I treated myself to a new pair of shorts - haven't worm them yet though I have run in my old ones several times now this year. To be honest I've reached the stage in life where I don't care what my legs look like, or what anyone else thinks of them.

I live life on the veg and get a Riverford delivery every week - have been doing so for years. I love their stuff - so so tasty. Good for the planet and an ethical company - now owned by it's workers.

Thank you so much Birdlady, yes I am really pleased and so looking forward to starting week two.

Aw that is nice that you treated yourself to a new pair of shorts as well and great that you are already wearing shorts. That is fantastic l, need to be more like you!! that is a great positive attitude to have πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ.

Loving that you live life on the veg!! How wonderful, that is so good to know, I must try them.

Enjoy your next run
