I have the new shoes but am at a lose as to what I should be wearing to run. I read cotton was bad bad bad.... I have never been a runner, and I wanted to start today however I didnt have anything that felt appropriate. I will be going shopping this weekend and would love to hear some advice from fellow Z5K's.

    I pay attention to my shoes and my socks. What I wear above the ankles is ridiculous, all the time. Forever.

    I have these legging things, I wear those under basketball shorts if it has been raining, because I hate accidentally stepping in a puddle and then my pants being wet. Sucks.

    Otherwise, I wear pajama bottoms and a breathable shirt. Good sports bra.

    We're not running huge distances so I don't see a huge issue with wearing whatever strikes your fancy :p
