WK5 R1 and 2 done

Well managed 1 on Mon but had to wait till today for no2. I had sore feet before I went out but they settled down. Its been a long week for them, driving up to Scotland Thurs, back down Sun then Blackburn yesterday plus work in between.

The second 8 min run tonight was tougher than I thought but it's in the bag and pace is slightly better than last.

Here's a pic of my bodged leg warmers... my ankles have been feeling the chill during the warm up especially so I sacrificed a pair of woolly tights to the cause. They've held up in the wash so far ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™m loving the eighties vibe! And if they work then that is the main thing. I gave up trying to look chic whilst running - in my view its impossible, so now I dress to do the job. Although have you ever peeked at tikiboo.co.uk

This is catnip for some of us....

Well done for the second run and good luck for the third.

Happy running

They work a treat!

I did have a look last week when they had that offer on but I'm between sizes and they all looked a wee bit too conspicuous... which is crazy as my running jacket is neon orange! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh happy memories- leg warmers ( in many glorious colours and patterns) were part of my student days - so toasty! ๐Ÿ˜„
