Gorgeous day for a run 😁

So...beautiful day today and when I got home from work I decided, no more faffing, just get out there, so I did. I’ve been a bit wary since the last run when I couldn’t breathe and came home after less than 5 minutes...worried it would happen again. And my hip has been niggling causing my thigh and knee to ache a lot..even just walking day to day.

But today it was pretty good. I ran in short sleeve tee and capris and really glad I took my running sunglasses too as it was really bright. 😁 I managed 5k in the end, bit of a struggle as the wind was against me on the outward half but really glad I went out. No records broken but a lovely run on a lovely day. And hopefully I have my run mojo back.

Now the above pics...... my run times obviously, then after my shower I thought I’d treat myself with my favourite Corner Yogurt, the blackberry and raspberry one, took the lid off and was scraping that while I’d perched the pot on the arm of my settee, then I reached for the pot and .....my hand had a silly moment and knocked it all over the floor.. luckily Roma, my daughter’s kitten, cleared it up for me ( minus the fruit bit). And the leggings?? I saw them in a shop window on my way home and thought I bet @FlickM3 would love those. In fact I’m tempted myself... but my kids threatened to disown me when I wear my flamingo ones ☹️so maybe not.

Happy running! Sounds excellent. πŸ‘πŸΌ And so glad you explained the picture! 🀣 Shame about the lost yogurt, tho. Sounded yummy, but not from the floor.... I do think you should get the leggings though. Never seen any like them. πŸ˜„πŸ‘

Well done, that’s a pretty good 5k time. I’ve seen those leggings on Amazon! I have the unicorn/robot ones!

Thanks!! Oh they sound interesting??

They have loads in the same range. Very cheap, under a tenner when I bought them. They don’t have a pocket though. The ones you saw probably do - I think the amazon ones are cheap knock offs

I never use a pocket in leggings anyway.. I have no hips ( and no waist) so anything in a pocket makes them slide down 🀣

I thought I'd never use a side pocket because the leggings would pull down, but I bought some underarmour capris (not very funky tho) and they are amazing. I totally forget the phone is there. I might just have ordered a full length pair earlier this week ... 😍

I have those leggings! I keep forgetting about them, I used to use them for pilates because I generally go for compression trousers for running but I think I should probably bring them back out for training runs too πŸ˜„
