It is totally maddening!
ION the sun has just come out briefly and one of those orange tops is very very very orange  as in fluo!!! The woollen one is red, sorry, but I cannot make it orange another randomness: colours! I was looking at a lovely bamboo yoga top, sleeveless, foor summer use, and I can't work out weather it is purple or grey. I asked the question from the makers: well, they say, this is what we have, it apparently looks either grey or purple, depending on the cones in your eyes?
Bollocks! I know light intensity changes perception of colour but, cones in your eyes? Unless you are colour blind, it is all in the mind of the beholder...
I like my red and orange tops by the way and the £5 too large blue capped sleeve one can now be my yoga top. The one I was looking at is £40!!!

I got a thumbs up from Garmin today, apparently I’ve hit my sleep goal for 4 days... a newt record.
I have been so tired and in bed by 10, sometimes read a bit I can’t say I feel any better for it. My workout this morning I was as wobbly as a wobbly thing.
A late newt from yesterday we had a Guinness in the house it’s always in the pub (I turn Irish for one day a year) the only otber time we had Guinness at home on St Patricks Day was when I lived in Oman, hubby arrived for a holiday on the 17th and the bars/hotel didn’t serve Guinness so we had to stay home then too.

I wore my LC Active top yesterday for a run and wore a thin jacket over the top. Bit disappointed as the top got chaffed by the seam of the jacket pockets

It's not just running clothes that are inconsistent sizing-wise. Most clothes seem to be pretty random nowadays. There was a time when you could pick something off the rack and know it would fit. Not any more
Love all the kit photos

That's a shame about your LLL leggings feeling flimsy HB, they're a smashing design. I've got a pair of LLL leggings and a pair of capris and the fabric feels quite thick, though 'slippery', to me. I'm particularly fond of my 'anchors and compasses' capris.
Sizing for all women's clothing is random it seems to me but you'd think M&S would be consistent.

I really struggle buying running t-shirts as I'm overweight (size 16 jeans), with a fat belly, and my measurements don't fit into one size. I usually run in baggy unisex race t-shirts - I always pick the largest size available so it will hide the flab. I don't buy running tops because I never know what size to get and I don't want fitted tops because they don't look nice on me.
My last running t-shirt purchase was the Adidas "1 in a million" London marathon t-shirt, sized at 16-18, and it is a sausage skin. I can't see me ever fitting in to it comfortably.
Running kit is a nightmare

Adidas usually comes up small in both clothing and footwear, Gimme.
