I went for my week 6 run 2 today.

I was feeling confident.

As soon as the lovely Sarah M told me to start the run, off I trot.... 2 minutes in I’m thinking: ‘Hello, this is uncomfortable... and mildly embarrassing... my running leggings are falling down.... omg...!’

I have to run next to a main road and I must have looked crackers running with one hand trying to hold the bloomin’ leggings up! They DID NOT want to stay up! 😅😳😅

So - not the most comfortable of runs - but it did mean two things!

1 - It was my best time yet for the running. Clearly the fear of exposing yourself in public makes me push to run faster! 😂😳

2 - I must have lost weight / changed shape. These leggings used to fit perfectly! 😂😳🤦🏻‍♀️

Hahaha!! I can just imagine but well done for pushing through and managing to complete your run, hopefully battling with the leggings took your mind off what you were doing!!

Ain't nobody got time for that!! Go running or walking instead, much better use of time! 🤣
