Run Charla Run

I love Mountain Equipment Co-op, I really do. But I always feel like such a poser when I'm in there, like the outdoor sporty police are going to come flying by in their fleece and hiking boots, and holler "You! You've never been on the side of a mountain in your life! You've only ever been camping once and you brought your pillow! Your idea of outdoor sports is drinking games on the patio!"

Luckily I made it in and out without anyone taking away my membership card, and I am now the proud owner of non-cotton things to wear while running. So now I can live in fear of someone sprinting after me, shouting "You! You're not a real runner! Hand over the PolarTec and no-one gets hurt!"

I bought some things that they call tights and I call fancyass spandex leggings, and a couple of long-sleeved shirts to wear under a runner's jacket thingy (note my highly technical vocabulary).

In fact, I bought this shirt in green (on sale), and I think possibly these tights. Also another shirt that seems like it would be good to layer. They all feel rather light, but our instructor seems to feel that's what we'll need, even in the freezing cold winter that will be hitting us soon. So we'll see. I think it's all about experimentation at this point.
