Thank you

Thank you to my lovely daughter for giving me running gear for Christmas. It's so lovely to have this encouragement. I'd been running in layers of cotton as I thought I wouldn't be able to take to modern fabrics. Proved wrong today. Warm and cozy, and not sweaty - who knew 🤔......😍

That's awesome 👌

The technical fabrics can be the difference between clammy and comfy. If you like natural fabrics try merino. It doesn't get smelly!

Sterling advice. Just looked up merino wool kit. I know I'm going to need a natural fabric come the Spring/Summer and am always trying to source clothes for any purpose that are kind to the planet. Daughters present is made from recycled materials so ✅️✅️✅️ but I think Summer weight "thermoregulating" merino wool sounds nice. Thanks Yesletsgo 😁

There was an interesting Radio 4 programme about sport fabrics/waterproofing etc, Sliced Bread. It's on Sounds. I never used to wear artificial fibres but I'm finding they're so much more comfortable if it's really hot (remember that?)

Splendid colour too!

How lovely! Beautiful bright colour too nothing like some new kit!

[CredenceRainyDay in reply to Wavy-chick28]

Thanks Wavy-chick. Something else that this running journey has increased my confidence in - wearing beautiful bright colours that I might not wear any other time 😀

Me neither I used to worry what I would look like running but not anymore!! 💗
