It could also be known as ‘my jolly hockey-sticks outfit’ as Katie put it!

| Whoops, this actually IS from my jolly hockey sticks days… |
From top to bottom (scraggly plait, my own);
- Bic headband (hoping to pick up a 26.2 headband at the expo, fingers crossed)
- Lululemon Run swiftly tank
- Shock Absorber all sport bra
- Lululemon pacesetter skirt
- Compression socks
- Adidas boosts
I showed Jess my favourite trails along the Thames whilst testing out the Pacesetter’s numerous pockets-perfect for gels, phones, and anything else you might want to tuck away! I actually ran in my Run Swiftly Long Sleeve top but quickly regretted it! I’ll take being a little cold when running over being too hot! (Oh and if you have a beady eye, you’ll see I ran in my Brooks Ravenna’s, they will also be coming to NYC, just in case!)
I am obsessed with these compression socks from Run Mummy Run, I know they’re not to everyone’s taste but I love the bright colours and patterns. I’m hoping they’ll help my Mum spot me amongst the crowds next weekend! I’m also hoping to pick up a pair or two of Pro Compression’s long compression socks at the expo!
We ran 10 miles along the river, from Hammersmith Bridge and back again, I loved hearing about Jess’s Paris marathon plans (wish I was running it!). I don’t think she loved making her hide while we were stretching near the station and I saw an ex-boyfriend though!
I’m feeling prepared and excited about the 26.2 miles that I’ve got to run next weekend, and cannot wait to do it in New York City! I feel like I look like a less cool version of Skinny Runner!! If only I can emulate some if her pace on the course next week too!
After my run, Amanda and I went to our favourite Chiswick brunch spot, Outsider Tart, and shared the Chilli eggs and French Toast. If you are ever in West London, you HAVE to go there. I had tweeted to say that we were headed there, and the owner came out and congratulated me on my run! Such a lovely guy!

Thank you Lululemon London for the pacesetter skirt and run swiftly long sleeve top! I paid for all other aspects of my outfit!
I wouldn’t run in the skirt because I don’t have the figure for it but I think you look fab chick embrace the skirt! I love the pink top though and the long sleeved version. Haha I love the fact you did from an ex I would totally do that too – you didn’t have to jump in a bush or anything though right?”
