Today and tomorrow are rest days between week 7 and week 8.

But, my God. What I wouldn't do to go for a run right now. I know I can't as I just went for one yesterday. And I did some light walking this morning.

But. I've just gotten back from being all dressed up for a bridal shower (I hate dressing up). The weather is perfect - slightly cloudy and a bit windy. I feel restless. I have nothing to do before dinner.

Goddamnit.

Oh no, you e well and truly caught the running bug. You're going to be a running bore. But hey - we'll always listen, sympathise, celebrate and cheer you on. Leggings and t-shirts are far nicer than fancy clothes 🤣

Ohhhhhhh I'm completely converted to wearing leggings all day, every day. If I could wear them to work, I would!

Exercise clothing over fancy clothing always!

If it wasn’t for the pain of sports bras I’d be in full running kit most of the time x

Why do you find sports bras uncomfortable? They shouldn't be!

Ha ha we all feel like that when we have some time and the weather clears it’s so good to be able to run and be outside

I just love being able to breathe so much deeper when i run instead of panting away like i did in the beginning
