And this a family show. π³π€£
Glad to help you avoid chafing. And even more glad you are putting comfort first by wearing shorts.

Well done Flara, you did it. Shorts Rule!! (well in this heat anyway)
Yay! I'm converted! Shorts R Us π€£
I bought 3 pairs on Sunday! I donβt normally do shorts either but itβs too frigging hot for anything else! Iβm not braving a vest top yet though! Xx
π±π±π± I've done a vest!! π€£
Vest and shorts combo! Wowzers!! Youβre taking on the world πxx
Vests rule. I am 54 and I confess that Iβve been scandalising my neighbours by running in *gasp* shorts AND a *gasp* VEST. AND I may, on occasion, not even have remembered to shave my armpits... Itβs just too hot to be modest.

I might start a shop...
I discovered the healing power of Vaseline after the Moon Walk. Slathered it on my blisters, over an inch in diameter each and they disappeared overnight. No joke. They didn't burst, nothing. They just completely went flat as if they'd never existed. And, no I'm not on commission! π€£

Oh Flara! Iβm not just liking it, Iβm loving it!! πGo you! With Vaseline too! Yes, shorts you will be going on today! πβ€οΈ

Haha thank you Fabulous450 π I know, get me! Shorts AND Vaseline ~ like some sort of pro! π

Wow Flara! Youβve inspired me, I bought my first pair today as dissolving into sweaty puddles each run. Not sure if Iβm brave enough to wear them but I might test the water during the football when the streets are empty π
Hi TailChaser !! Good to see you again! Do it, do it, wear them, wear them!! Join the revolution!! π
Go on TailChaser! I have to admit I havenβt bought any shorts yet, but Iβm going to do it too! It will take some bravery, but hey, Iβm going to embrace it! Shorts shopping it is! In fact graduation pressie! Some nice bright ones, to really make it worthwhile! π€£!
Hope it goes well! β€οΈ

π±π± Go Fabulous450 !! I had you down as having a wardrobe full π
Lol Another first! π So, Iβm working on it as we speak! In for a penny and all! The world didnβt stop when I went outdoors to run, so they might even miss my bright shorts and wobbly bits! π Who knows? Iβll be running, so as my running mantra now is, βDonβt care, Iβm out thereβ! β€οΈ
Yay! This is great! All us amazing women just doing it! Because we don't care anymore!! βοΈβ€βοΈ
Well itβs a case of βWe girls can run!β The guys are great too of course! They just donβt tend to have shorts issues! πβ€οΈ
Excellent Fabulous450 π I think we should all take that mantra up. Ok, I will give it a go on Wednesday morning (I want to see the footie anyway). I wish we could do a βIβll show you mine if you show me yoursβ with photos on here. Mine are black with pink bits (of course) but they have little cycling shorts underneath which I hope will stop the chafing (back to that again π). I tell you what, Iβll do a run without Vaseline and report back to let you know if they work.
If we were brave enough to go out in all our glory for the first few weeks of C25K, we can certainly do it now with shorts onππππ
Agreed! Itβs a deal! β€οΈ
Deal π€
Sorry, it all went a bit pear shaped. Busy day completely knackering myself Tuesday (35,000 steps π³), my legs were shot Wednesday morning, in no fit state to walk let alone run! Iβve got work today gardening so I need to take it easy on the old bones. I might break them out at the gym on Friday afternoon...otherwise it will be Parkrun, in the middle of the park, in front of 350 other people, oh eck π³π³π³
35,000???? π± Why? How? If you bail out Friday and go for the shorts on Saturday your little pins will be amongst 700 other pins!! π No problemo π
I donβt know how really, itβs never been that many!! π I walk to work and back, walk around at work, walk my son to a club and back, it must be that I suppose!! Done another 23k today, another work day. I think gym tomorrow, Parkrun Saturday. Youβre right, I can hide amongst the other shorts wearers ππππ

My hubby says β50 year old women, running in shorts, taking over the world!!!β ππ
Hello everyone- Iβd never considered shorts but I may invest in a pair (as long as they arenβt too short-donβt want the world to feel ill) itβs just too hot for anything else!
And Vaseline-who knew lol x
Ladies....Weβre starting a revolution! ππ½ππ½ We are going to be in our shorts and guess what we wonβt care, because weβre runners! β€οΈ
