Gorgeous day for a run ๐Ÿ˜

So...beautiful day today and when I got home from work I decided, no more faffing, just get out there, so I did. Iโ€™ve been a bit wary since the last run when I couldnโ€™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. ๐Ÿ˜ 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 Iโ€™d treat myself with my favourite Corner Yogurt, the blackberry and raspberry one, took the lid off and was scraping that while Iโ€™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 daughterโ€™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 Iโ€™m tempted myself... but my kids threatened to disown me when I wear my flamingo ones โ˜น๏ธso maybe not.

Happy running! Sounds excellent. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ And so glad you explained the picture! ๐Ÿคฃ 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. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘

Well done, thatโ€™s a pretty good 5k time. Iโ€™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 donโ€™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 ๐Ÿคฃ

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 ... ๐Ÿ˜

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 ๐Ÿ˜„
