Squashing Blue Monday, Sports Style!

Today was Blue Monday - apparently the most depressing day of the year. Yayyy (!) But with the exception of a few drops of rain, my Blue Monday wasn't actually all that blue.The best way for me to shake off the previous week and deal with my fateful Monday morning at work is to allow all my frustration to ferment into sweat. Mmm-mm, delicious! Who doesn't want to see a glazed-in-sweat twenty two year old force her body to regain its flexibility and desperately try to tone up her thighs? I jest - I actually don't sweat that extensively (I hope). I do always bring a towel with me in case I experience one of those rare days where I manage a solid twenty minute run on the treadmill at a speed of 9.2 KMH. Casual boasts aside, Mondays really are my gym days and Blue Monday or no Blue Monday, I had my kit packed and I was ready to rumble. If I don't hit that thang on a Monday I can almost guarantee my whole exercise schedule disintegrates for the week and at £25 a month, that doesn't do anyone any good.

What this post is really about though, is my undying love for my new sporty gym wear. My parents bought me these beautiful Adidas leggings for Christmas and I'd been after this black H&M sports bra for months, so of course I had to photograph them after eagerly unwrapping them on Christmas morning. I already know how ridiculous I look attempting the ridiculously named 'Crazy Ivans' from my NTC app, so I like to at least resemble someone with an ounce of sporting intelligence when I walk in to the gym (I do hail from Loughborough after all, sporting finesse should run freely through my blood...)

In short, I love my new gym clothes and wanted to show them off to the world. The leggings, which are full length and covered in a black/grey geometric/architectural design, are so comfortable and I will definitely be after more Adidas items in the future. And who knows, give it a few months and I might even be able to feature them on my nicely toned body! She says, on a solo mission to demolish an entire bag of mini eggs...
