I’d been making do with 2 sports T-shirts n shorts in this cold weather, now..... My fabulous step daughter, yep the one who got me into this running thing has given me a full running kit for Christmas!

Just don’t let me think “Rocky Horror Show” with those running “tights” hahaha it’s just a jump to the left ... and then a step to the riiiight. :-)

Now I really have to keep it going, another reason not to let her or any of you guys down.

Do ya reckon it will make me a bit quicker haha

It may not make you quicker, but I've found that a heavy investment in lycra has proved an extra incentive not to give up. 😉

Merry Christmas

Awesome present! I think all these Christmas posts are making it painfully obvious to me that I need to buy running gear. Lol

Nice gear! You've have to let us know if the Olympic team notice you now!

Haha yes! They are really good though. I went out on my last run in 5 degrees and thought nah I wont need them I'll put them in my pocket just in case. They soon came out!

They have these cool little pads on the index finger and thumb that mean I can still use my smart phone if I need to - how clever is that.

The kit was all from the Decathlon store, they seem to be really good value.
