What Not To Wear - Clothing Dilemma

Its been a consolidation week so time to enjoy taking it easier.  I even had time to fit in a leg massage and get my knees checked out.  All is well, thank goodness, and we think the soreness and stiffness I felt 2 weeks ago was down to doing the runs first thing. Usually I've been out for a dog walk or at least wandering about the house a bit, allowing my muscles to wake up.
Tuesday's track session was good and went quickly.  Luckily for us we timed it just right and finished as the sun went down.  The temperature plummeted at that point.  It was also Shrove Tuesday so there was the added incentive of pancakes afterwards - yummy.
Although Wednesday night's run was supposed to be at an easy pace, none of us kept to that. At least Sylvia and I had the excuse that we were coaching the speed session but the others decided to make the end of their run into a sprint too!
This morning we went cross country for just over 30 minutes and enjoyed the sunshine.  We're carefully studying the weather forecast to try to decide what to wear for the race on Sunday.  As we entered as club runners, we'll be wearing our  Washlands vests but its still a bit cold to just wear that.  I was planning a long sleeved tshirt underneath but it was actually quite warm today, so now I'm not certain.  It'll be one of those where I take a bag load of kit to the race and still won't be sure if I've chosen correctly as we set off.

The other clothing dilemma of the week came about when I received my MACS vest, which is the one I'll run in for London.  It's HUGE!  I received a training vest earlier on, which the accompanying letter acknowledged was a size larger than I'd asked for, but reassured me that the actual vest would be the correct size.  I've been sent a Small but it's bigger than the training vest.  I won't be able to wear it on the day as it will rub against my arms and be really sore.  I've contacted them to see if they have an XS size (or even an XXS).  If it comes to it, I'll run in the training vest on the day.  Ideally if the weather allows, I'd like to wear what I'm planning to wear on the day for the 22mile run in two weeks, just to check where things rub.  As I found out last week, everything can be absolutely fine at 18 miles but after 20 miles, kit can start to chafe.
