I got up, put on my shorts π± looked in the mirror - sensed a gremlin, didn't loook in the mirror again ~ and ran out the door.... it was already hot by 645am!! The gremlins were really having a go today, I did cave in momentarily but was back on track within the minute. Shout out to Sheryl Crow and The Lightning Seeds ~ Soaking up the sun π Pure & Simple ~ grateful for that π
Ran in shorts π± And the world didn't stop! - Couch to 5K

Keep at it Flara!! And get those pins out π
Well run! And well dressed!!
Soak up the sun is one of my βhappy placeβ tracks. I can have that on my headphones, shut my eyes, and I am on a Greek island on a sun lounger, all hot and relaxed, cold beer in hand. Works even in the winter.
Verdict on the shorts?
Verdict on the shorts: much "airier" ~ but gotta be honest, slight chafing at the end!! ππ TMI?? π³
Iβm thinking shorts are required now too. I currently run in crop leggings which are comfy but Iβm going to be doing Weeks 7 and 8 whilst on hols in Bavaria and I think I need to brave getting my scary legs out once and for all. What shorts do you have?
Am I really on here talking about shorts??π€£ Little 50year old me who never bares her legs! They are running shorts with inner shorts....
I'm waiting for mine to arrive - tomorrow I hope. Shorts with inner ones. Lucky for me I don't usually meet anyone on my routes. Wouldn't want to scare them with my legs!! So vaseline is they way to go, ok, noted. Normally wear below the knee lycra things but sooooooo hot!
I know - the world kept going when I got my legs out too! π€ͺ Brilliant Flara. x
Woohoo, you go girlfriend. Nobody really cares but us. The trials and tribulations of body image and women. Glad you conquered it!!
Oh yes Flara! You are absolutely fabulous! Go Flara in your shorts. Out there donβt care! Gremlins were slayed today! Hereβs to the next run in shorts or whatever takes your fancy! ππβ€οΈ
Thank you for the push I needed Fabulous450 π
Good grief are you only just getting the shorts out. I think I might have expired if I had been running in lycra. I love the shorts with the built knickers just like men's swim shorts.
You got a reply from dizzysmum. Have you told her the tale about you being purple and him shouting bonkers at you or Do you think it is a different dizzee
π
πͺπ good for you! Nothing can hold you back now π
Haha! So glad you got your legs out! Did you buy those shorts?
Hi, Iβve been running in shorts since I started C25K 12 weeks ago. π No-one seems to bat an eyelid, and the world hasnβt stopped for me either. π
Just run in whateverβs comfortable for you, and donβt worry about anyone else. π
Everyone else running out there will respect you for being a runner, and the rest donβt matter anyway! π
Keep running, and keep posting π
Thank you π I know it's mostly the inner critic that is judging, Joe Public really aren't that interested in me π
