I wore shorts!

Let's get one thing straight; my legs don’t go out in public. They're overly stocky and I have knees knobblier than an old oak tree. But today it’s really hot, so for week 6 run 2 I finally wore the shorts that I bought when I started this C25K caper. The run is a nice one with 2 stints of 10 minutes, but I laughed at the half-way mark when Michael suggested having a drink of water - why didn’t you tell me to bring some along Michael?

Anyhow, that’s another one ticked-off, and to complete my legs' introduction into public life, here's a picture.

Nothing worth hiding there Mike. Good muscle development. Lucky you having a nice day, I had to run in the rain this morning.

2 good investments I have made...

1.) non bounce running belt

2.) runners grip water bottle

Think my bottle has almost become my comfort blanket now!

Oh wow, I'd never heard of those bottles! Thanks - ordered!

Well done! I don’t think the world is really ready for my weird legs but since I became a runner, I am shameless. Anything to keep cool! 😎

Great run , great legs and a great location for the short debut :)

Pah! Do I care about what the world makes of my stumpy legs? No! I even go our *gasp* when I haven’t remembered to shave them 💪🏼 That’s what this running malarkey does for your confidence.

As long as your legs reach the ground tiger, that's all that matters. And lovely tho the legs undoubtedly are, I suspect most people will be looking at the scenery :-) Others' misfortune perhaps, but get your shorts on with pride!!
