Yesterday's run started out at 27*, which I have a feeling might be similar to conditions come race day based on the last two years (hubby ran the half in 2009 and 2010). I wore the new running pants and shirt I purchased at Target to try it out (a cardinal rule of running is never wear anything you haven't worn in a training run during a race). The clothes themselves worked out fine. I wore a fleece jacket during my run because basically it had zippers on the pockets, which helped me carry all sorts of junk during my run. LOL! And I realized it was just the right amount of clothing for the run.
But, here's the thing. I don't want to wear a fleece jacket. While I liked the extra pockets, I am hesitant to wear it...plus it's green and my pants and shirt are blue. Yes, I'm that superficial. LOL! So, I've been debating these two options:
Arm sleeves
Cold weather shirt
Now, I have a cold weather shirt like above. My thoughts are to wear it under the short sleeve blue shirt I'm wearing. I like the idea of the arm sleeves though because if I do get warm as I run I can take them off. Of course, the shirt means there's no chance I could lose it if I get hot. Though I have little chance of pulling the sleeves up because it's a tight fit on the arms.
Of course, I could just suck it up and wear the fleece jacket even though it doesn't match. It has the fabulous extra pockets and I can roll the sleeves up if I get warm.
What to do...what to do...
