Running tops

The sheer amount of stuff happening in my life at the moment mean I haven't done a yoga class in a while. My body feels stiff and cranky and in need of a good stretch. I haven't been completely idle these past weeks though, as thanks to David I've taken up running. Yes, me, running. It's something I always thought I'd be totally crap at, but surprisingly in just a couple of weeks (and 4 sessions) I've got up to 5km. Not exactly a marathon I know, but it's a start. Image conscious as ever, I've noticed that I feel much better jogging in D's figure-hugging dri-fit leggings than my own baggy junkie-style tracksuit bottoms. Despite my supposed 'busyness' I've managed to find the time to browse the web in search of stylish ladies running gear - namely tops as I'd rather wear some plain leggins on my bottom half - I'm too lanky to look good in bootleg.

I love this Alpine top from Lululemon, the colour and the fit are just gorgeous and I think the hole in the hood for your pony tail is ingenious - no more ponytail scrunched into a ball and no more looking like a boy when you have your hood up. Sorry the other thumbnails pics are so small.



Equally gorgeous but a little more spring-timey is this option from Sweaty Betty...


And now, something that even body-conscious old moi would find too daring to run in but that is undeniably very sexy, this Stella McCartney top for Adidas...

And for summer in beige from Sweaty Betty - wouldn't it look nice with a tan?


For some reason I actually believe these tops will make me run faster...I just need to find out where to get them in Spain.

Had no idea Sweaty Betty delivered to Spain, that's great news! Paola I might just have to take up your offer of a Lululemon order :-) I'm going to give running till January, and if I seem to be keeping up I'll need (well, want) some new gear :-) And I guess the clothes will work for yoga too?? xx

Hey Nads - Lululemon is made here in B.C, there is a shop 10 min walk from me in Victoria. Let me know if you want me to send you a (late) Christmas present in the form of a running top! Lucie

Thanks Lucie! P.s. how are things? Are you going to be in the UK this Xmas? I'll be in Sudan for my brother's wedding, hope to see you one of these days soon :-) xx
