Comments:

I had several layers on, wicking underarmour then long sleeve cotton tee then windbreaker. On the bottom, had spandex shorts and long legged running pants. Probably too much for the weather.Definitely forgo the longsleeve tshirt or add long sleeve wicking. Forgo the pants. Wear a garbage bag to throw away.

Warm down:

very little, need to get a routine that I immediately go into, My first thought always seems to be get something into the stomach.
