Running in swimming shorts - I guess at some point I need to buy some proper gear.

W1 R3 now done, am I runner yet? Maybe. But as I had no sportswear I have been running in my swim shorts, I don't think anyone has noticed! If I complete week 2 I may invest in a pair of shorts!

Run in what ever keeps you comfortable and keeps you cool.

If I was slim enough (not quite yet) I'd be in shorts 😉

Treat yourself as the weeks go by as a reward for your hard work 👍

I did 😉I got new running socks for week 4, running trainers for week 5, then Lycra 3 quarters for week 6 fab rewards 😉

🤣 You are awesome! Photographic evidence required.

Congrats on completing week 1 👍

Thanks, definately too self conscious at the moment for a pic. But if I make week 9 I may go for the full swimming shorts with towel and goggles!

[DeeRunning Graduate in reply to RichRunsSlowly]

😂🤣 LOL and why not?! May as well make an occasion out of it!

Correction *when* you make week 9 buddy. You've totally on top of this running/swimming caper.

That's hilarious. I think you should go shopping right now..that means you'll have to do week two because you've made an investment. Keep going work ahead but it;s good.

Check out charity shops, had myself some bargains since starting this journey!

I think you need to rephrase to "when I complete week 2".... no if's!

[RichRunsSlowly in reply to Amandana]

Thanks, thats right. Still not mastered this ultra positive mind set but getting there!

Sports direct sell karimorr stuff very cheap, it’s not best quality, but you can get running shorts with a little key pocket at the back for about £7, great for starting out. Or if you have a Decathlon store near you, their own brand stuff isn’t expensive.

Yes and once you start you are not only addicted to running but also checking out running clothing. The brighter, the better.
