Cool Running Gear

So, I returned from my ski trip full of vigour and energy. 

Within a few days back I had booked myself places in 4 10k races. 

Really! I can't quite believe it myself. 

But this last year has seen me make so many changes, to my diet and lifestyle, for the benefit of my health and whilst skiing - 6 days, 6 hours a day, I really felt the benefits of my hard work.

I see the races as a way of keeping me motivated, to stay fit and continue to eat healthily. A goal to work towards and hopefully a celebration afterwards! ;-)

I also ordered some new running and chillout gear. I really believe wearing great gear helps you to feel good about yourself and motivate you to push yourself that little bit further.

I adore Sweat Betty but tend to wait for the sales as it is on the pricey side. A good alternative is GapFit. Great quality and fit and their  run pants are so funky - everyone comments on mine.
So here is my latest haul!

Love these - so comfy and excellent quality! :-)

These purple marble pants look more expensive than they were.... 

Thumbholes - what can I say?! Sold!

So tell me, do you feel more motivated when wearing cool workout gear?

Confession Time

procrastinate

liste

Verb - Delay, put off doing

People wouldn't think I was a procrastinator – a lot of it goes on in my head – I may share an intention with Mr.L  or one or two people but I won't shout it….why? 
Because then I can get out of doing it and no-one knows!!

Take Parkrun – Saturday mornings 9 o'clock – lots of my running group post their intention on line – all the people who I have taken from walking to jogging to running -  I may say quietly that I'm going to go too......next morning the pull of a warm bed, a lie in, a cup of tea in said bed........what do I choose? You've got it! ;-)

 Yet I know if I go, I feel so refreshed, have done some exercise and am home before 10am, have seen friends and have energised myself ready for the weekend.

So later when I read about everyone getting themselves up and out I feel mad with myself….

I procrastinate about other things too, main things currently being – I cleaned half the kitchen and sorted out the kitchen cupboards – I enjoyed it, clean tidy cupboards with no unused items or out of date food, wow! The other half...

I painted the two downstairs windows on the front of my house (upstairs was done my a decorator) the front door??? Procrastination rules – the weather is too hot/too cold, it might rain, its too windy, get the picture?

My black leather boots – by the back door for 6 months – waiting – for a polish…………..gggrrrr.

Why do I do this? I have no idea, but my guess is others must do it too?

What do you think? Do you procrastinate? How do you overcome it?

I'm off to clean a pair of boots – yeah right!!!
But - I am going to Parkrun ;-0

Happy Weekend Everyone!
