Short run...

Due to snazzy leggings now being too big. Sun was shining & it was warm yesterday evening so I donned my snazzy leggings & a t shirt & set off for a run. After a few technical hitches which involved returning home to correct them, I was eventually on my way.....running was good, but uh oh, 5 minutes in, my leggings started to slip downwards. A quick "in run" shiggle got them back up & so began my new leggings shuffle dance which seemed to be happening every minute or so. After 15 mins , I slowed to a jog to see if that would help, nope still having to yank snazzy leggings back up. Slowed further to a brisk walk & the leggings shuffle eased off....and so ended the run. A disappointing run but it means I just HAVE to go snazzy leggings shopping 😁😁

That sounds like good news to me! Where do you go for snazzy leggings - and could you find me some snazzy capris please?

We bought these particular snazzy leggings in a local shop. There were some in B&M but my next pair will be from Tikkiboo.co.uk - an online shop which sells snazzy leggings & capris & a whole lot more of sports wear. They are not cheap but their designs are so cool & some of their leggings have built in pockets & they have 12-15mm compression 😊

Maybe a pair with a tie string too ? Nice problem to have mind you!

the offending leggings don't have a tie string but my Karrimor ones do - I love them, they stay up :)

I've just looked Tikkiboo up - they look brilliant! The nicest snazzy I've seen. I think just thing I need to cheer me up while on the IC! And of course if I buy new gear, then it will make sure I have the incentive to get running again once I'm better:)

Had that once when I put my mobile in my back pocket. Mobile kept pulling them down when running, but it was OK when I walked. Meant running with my mobile in my hand - which I don't like! Very good sign weightwise and means you need retail therapy 😎
