On sartorial matters

angrbodaHello there week 7!
So another 25 minutes of running today. We have bid a final farewell to the rest walks now. You may recall that last time I found the 25 minutes surprisingly easy. It was today as well, in spite of it being a work day. My time was a little slower than last time, but I did also waste a few seconds during the cool down walk by stopping so that I could look at a little frog crossing the path. Awwww, wildlife. :)
Last time I mentioned that if I was to be running in the rain, I would need some running trousers that wouldn't go see-through when wet, so today I stopped in at H&M on the way home from work. I figured I would just get another pair of cotton yoga trousers in a darker colour, as I didn't fancy any of those running tights. Left the shop with... a pair of running tights. I am not entirely certain how that happened! Other than the selection of cotton yoga trousers being exactly nill, so I had to find something else. All of their other running trousers were tight fit so far as I could see, except one model which was regular fit. The only explanation I can think of for why I ended up with tight fit instead of those is that these have a thin pink stripe down the leg, and apparently I like pink. Not a colour I go for in anything else at all, but now I have black running trousers with a pink stripe, black shoes with pink laces and a pink running top. Today I was even wearing pink socks!
But anyway, these tights. They're surprisingly warm to wear, so I don't think I'll be having problems staying warm if I can keep going through winter. And I reckon that if I do get cold, I can probably wear my white yoga trousers on top of the tights. They're loose enough for that. I think these are comfortable enough, though, so I'm fairly pleased with the choice.
Another thing I bought, somewhat on a whim, was a sports bra. I'm not used to even wearing a bra in the first place because I'm not very well endowed at all, so I haven't really felt the need to have one. I have to say I could tell a difference today when I was wearing one. Everything was a bit more... controlled. That said, though, I'm not sure how I'm going to be getting on with it. Straps and bands and fabric in places where I'm not used to it. I felt very conscious of it the whole time and it was rather a relief to get it off afterwards. The size and support level seems to be fine, it's simply a question of being unused to one in the first place. I'll have to try it some more times and give it a proper chance before I make my final decision on it.
