Yes I was going to wait for a sale before investing in some more colourful running gear but Mr M0use has just given me a late graduation present of these very snazzy new leggings so I had to take them out for a spin.
No more apologetically hiding in black and grey. Everybody is going to see me coming🏃♀️ ☺️ I'm an overweight, over sixty, wobbly, slow runner. Get used to it. 😄🌈🏃♀️🐌
They are lovely and it’s something to be proud of that overweight, over 60, wobbly bits slow runner 🏃🏻♀️ 😀 join the club 😀that’s me too and i can now run best part of a couple of hours
You are not all that wobbly MOuse, that's a nice photo of you, that was lovely of Mr MOuse giving you a graduation present of those leggings, I am sure you will enjoy running in them. 😊
LOVE them! Enjoy running in them!
You look fabulous...you've got it...flaunt it, proudly!!!!Yeayyyyy!
Great pattern on those! Enjoy wearing them-they’ve bern well earned!
They are quite amazing 🤩 love them. You’re now making me want to buy some funky leggings instead of my boring black ones 🤣
They had a very snazzy pair covered in daffodils but not in my size unfortunately. Lovely fit, very comfy ☺️
Do they also have a large pocket? That’s what I look for now in any leggings for my phone. X

Superb leggings. Every non runner out there needs to notice awesome new runners of all shapes and sizes on their runs.. I believe the “if she can I can” mentality actually gets more people off the couch than the elites currently doing their stuff in Birmingham ever can.
Be seen, smile, inspire and happy running.
Thanks so much, never thought of myself as inspiring anyone. I just know it took me 3 weeks before I gathered the nerve to get out of the door for week 1 run 1 and I've been trying to run unnoticed ever since. So I think perhaps you have a point if I had seen more older, wobbly people like me maybe it wouldn't have taken me so long to take the first step. ☺️🌈🏃♀️🐌
Now you’re in the scene you have to be seen 😝
You’re exactly right… running is not about 20 somethings with 2% body fat running like gazelles… it’s all about US, but we sometimes let them play too.
Wow 🤩 I love your new leggings. Don’t be scared if letting people see you running. You’re doing something for yourself and your health and that’s more than most folks are doing. Congratulations on graduating x
Thank you so much, I think for me this is a mental journey almost as much as a fitness one☺️
Same here, every run I get the I can’t do this and then go and smash the run 🏃♀️ I’m having to learn not to be so hard on myself.
I'm starting to believe that I'm a runner and I can do it, we have to keep reminding ourselves ☺️🏃♀️
You look great! Fellow chubby 60 something here, when I run I dress for me, it's given me so much confidence that I truly don't even think about what other people might think about my running gear as long as I'm comfortable.By this time next year you'll be in loud shorts and a racer back t shirt! How many women our age can do what we do (and have this much fun?)
Thank you so much, I can definitely see an improvement in my confidence, not sure about the shorts and racer back but we'll see☺️
I would never have believed it possible myself. These days I literally don't give a **** if someone else wants to criticise as long as I feel good. It's incredibly liberating! (I admit to using fake tan on my legs, the world isn't quite ready for those pale meaty sausages but if they're brown I figure it's ok 😂)
I'll be a sixty something runner in just over a week's time, and you are all so right - we are fabulous and marvellous and inspiring and should be seen and admired! I feel more than privileged to be running at all, after having had the most unexpected heart attack 18 months ago. So what I look like and how slow I run are completely irrelevant to anyone else! Love the leggings and the yellow top, MOuse, you look awesome 🥰
Looking great. I didn’t start running till I was 64 and I’m overweight and I’m slow. It’s a great club to be in. I’m sure you’ll enjoy many happy hours in your new gear 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Love them. It’s a big club - welcome to the gang!
Yay M0use ! Those are brilliant! What a lovely present. You look fab - I hope you have many great runs in them 😁⭐️🌸.
Well done you and well done Mr M0use for the snazzy pair of leggings. Keep going and flying the flag for all the over 60s 👏
Cracking! Good for you girl !!
You are a runner with wonderful leggings. The rest of it is irrelevant! Run proud 🏃♀️
You look amazing! Love the new look! Xx
