running gear

hey y'all! so, of course being the big shopper that i am, i see this whole running craze that i have going on as a perfect opportunity to buy some cute gear! i did some investigating and ordered three pieces - a manzella headband, a pearl izumi half zip and a pair of asics thermopolis running pants. the headband was awesome and really kept me warm. the half zip kept me warm as well, but since i ran in warmer weather, i got hot pretty quickly. the pants feel really amazing and comfortable. so much so that i probably would use them to just run errands had i not signed up for my race. the only complaint i have, and it's not really a complaint about the pant itself, but it's that i'm so short that i feel like the pant leg is too long. i am thinking that when the temperatures drop in the dc area more, i will have to invest in another pair of tights. my next purchase is going to be a running vest - anyone have one they particularly like??
