I bought a Vivienne Westwood vintage blazer on line, size XS. It was an original and I know how the sizing in these top brands run small. I was scared that it would be too small, but I really wanted it as I had always loved the design.
It arrived in the mail and it does not only fit. It looks amazing!
I finished c25k today (distance version)! I can run 5k!! This is my third time attempting it and my first time to a) finish and b) not get injured. I think lots of walking over the last 6 months, and lots of stretching/core work (yoga, pilates) on the side, made the difference.
I rewarded myself with a deep tissue massage (ouchie!)!
I fell off the wagon for a while, but I logged today, so that is good. I'm in a really good place psychologically, so I haven't felt as much of a need to exercise for emotional stability, but I probably need to start just so that I am more active.
Lots today—My three oldest boys (9,6,5) ran their first “real” obstacle race this morning (1.5 miles with 10 obstacles)—they’ve been training on their Ninja Warrior line outside constantly. So great to see them make an achieve fitness goals while having fun!
I kept up with the older two, who finished the course in 13 minutes (including all the obstacles! I wasn’t allowed to do the obstacles, but I ran with them, and they were booking it!). My 6 yo wanted to run the course again and I ran it with him a second time.
And since I couldn’t do the obstacles, I went to the gym to lift afterward, then went out for a night of dancing with my husband. Loving having an active life with my family!
And loved feeling good in a dress I felt bulky and blah in two months ago!
I have slayed my dragon pants! 5 years ago, I bought khakis which, back then, barely fit, but I wanted them, damnit! They've been hanging in my closet ever since, having been worn a grand total off 0 times. I once tried them on again and could not get them past my thighs. Today, on a whim, I tried them on again, and not only do they fit, but I won't be able to wear them much longer, because they're already very loose. Go me!

Awesome, but what are dragon pants? Is this a style?

LOL, no, dragon pants - or dragon anything - is a piece of clothing that you've been wanting to get back into for ages, and it would never fit. Until you "slayed the dragon" and they fit again.

It's not your clothes getting more sexy. It's all you!
Can we see a picture please?! Sounds beautiful!
I'm keeping an eye on the odometer as I REALLY want to see the 9,999.9 click over onto 10,000 miles.
So, it goes . . . 9,999.7 . . . . 9,999.8 . . . . .9,999.9 . . . . then 0.00.
I (stupidly) didn't realise that the odometer only went to 9,999.9.
I was devastated. Briefly. Because I was going to stop and take a photo (little things like that make me happy).
My bike and I have now done over 10,000 miles together. It's usually a good relationship, with the odd blip. Usually punctures.

OK will admit that's not strictly true and reality isn't anywhere close.
Everest is 8848m high and my elevation gain from my bike rides in October was 8904m as a personal challenge to improve my hill climbing ability.
