Week 1 Run 2 - Attack of the Wedgie

Apologies if this post offends anyone!

Yesterday I undertook run 2 of week 1, having bee unable to do it over the weekend. I went out for a lovely run at 9pm when it was cooler, enjoying the feel of the breeze, only to be attacked by a case of the wedgie every time I set off running. It was a blessing to reach the 90 second slow down, but I had to keep checking no one was behind me before I could set myself to rights!

I think there may be a gap in the market for some non-slip running underwear...

Aside from a bit of discomfort, I'm happy to say I was faster than my first run, and the pain in my feet was also not as bad. Now to start the strength and flexibility training!

Sloggies is the brand to look for, ladies. Lots of lycra!

I had the opposite problem yesterday evening - my new capris were making a break for it and working their way down every time I ran! Solved it in the end by hoiking them up as high as I could, then putting my phone belt over the top, but it was a bit dodgy up until then...! ;)
