Well, after flouncing around with salon gorgeous hair for two days it was time to get back in the saddle- or running shoes- again. Felt a bit smug that I had dodged two rubbish weather days too!
The skies had cleared and the wind had dropped from a hoolie to a breeze so I decided it was a beach kind of day and set off. I must have literally been trying to get the pebbles over and done with because my halfway time was faster than normal, but I felt OK. I wonder if there is any science behind it being more difficult to breathe in the wind, it certainly felt easier today.
Anyway another 5K and I actually did it in a bit quicker than Monday- can’t believe I’m talking about PBs in 5K!😂
Obviously this is all down to all the new Sweaty Betty sale gear- I knew it was performance enhancing 😜 All the gear ...etc. Fake it till you make it🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️sorry about the rubbish pic, had to do a selfie by the garage to get the leggings in! 😉

Amazing!! Love the outfit. Do you find wearing a headband helps or do you wear it more for the fashion? I wear a cap a lot and like the idea of a headband but can never decide if ti is worth investing in or not 🤔
Omg packers the headband is the best thing I ever bought!!! I sweat absolute buckets (hence the name!) and was forever getting it in my eyes! This does the job amazingly! It is literally disgusting when I take off, I could wring it out.
Despite my new found SB habit I’m not really one for fashion, I’m all about comfort. 😉
Ooo ok, yeah definitely might look into that on my next trip to the run store then! I feel like fashion comes second when it comes to running - if it's comfy and it lasts a while I'd rather have that than something really cute and it only last half the time - or at least that's what I like to think anyway 😂 there's some things I avoid but most of the time if it's good quality I suck it up and buy it hahaha!
Ha ha believe me Peggy I definitely lived up to my moniker but by the time I had faffed around the glow was somewhat fading by the time I did my selfie😜
Thanks- wasn’t going for a PB it just happened 🤷🏼♀️I think my running is a bit like my snooker playing - hit and hope no strategy sometimes get lucky! Not that I’ve played snooker for years!
Ha ha love it!! I was out earlier in my new SB sports bra (with a t shirt over the top of course😂😂). Love your gear. Was with my daughter who was head to foot in SB😀 I also love Gymshark as their leggings are fantastic!!!
Gymshark...hmmmm -Oh no don’t give me another excuse!!!🙈
Under the loose open vest is actually the matching running top which might have been an eleventh hour sale purchase - but no way am showing my midriff off like a teenager 😱
Ooooh lovely!! Know what you mean- my daughter runs in what I would classify as a bra but apparently it’s a crop top😂 I did sneak in another SB order earlier though - floral power leggings and a top. Decided I Deserved it today after a 7k run and 2 dog walks!!
🤣oh to have the body of a teenager again to be able to get away with a crop top/bra!! Those days are long gone. My middle definitely has that lived in look😜
Definitely deserved!👍🏼I love the power leggings, the material feels so nice. I did a big sort out of all my gym / run gear after my SB sale splurge. Threw loads away and sorted it all out into categories like some sort of domestic IKEA drawer goddess, but it made me realise I have plenty...for now until I write my letter to Santa. (Although I’d really like some more of those open back layering tops but SB don’t do them anymore. 🙁)
All the gear, no idea...but maybe starting to get a smattering of how to go about this running/ bimbling malarkey 🤣
I think I did download it but ended up going with NRC. I haven’t actually used any of the guided runs yet, I’m just using it to track my time/ distance. 😊
One of things I like about my headband is that it holds my Bluetooth headphones in place. It took me ages to find a pair that didn’t fall out, I’ve probably got weird ears or something, so it was a bonus that the headband secures then even better. So I’m sort of with you - I haven’t looked into the BT headbands - I presume the earphones are removable for washing?! 😱
🤣 I ended up buying some with those ear hooks (is the only way I can think to describe) but even then I had to try a couple of designs until I found some that would stay put.
One thing I do know.. those air pods would be a disaster 😱
We may have discovered a new club- the weird lugs🤣🤣
Mr Motivator 🙈 How could one man have sooo much energy and so many lycra shorts? 😂
Yep, I've had to go with the ones that hook over your ears and has a bit going round the back of your head. The pods kept popping out while I was running!
I decided that I have delicate little ears but my son says I just have weird lug holes 🤣
I bet there are secretly lots who could join our new club 😎
