Ugh! I had to laugh about being out there when you realize you're too hot. I did that once a couple years ago. I was wearing long sleeves, so I could hide a little but, I am not 20 either (by a long shot), and I did not feel comfortable running in just my sports bra.

My legs do not like sitting still for a long time either. I'm lucky (I guess) to have a job that keeps me on my feet most of the day. When I end up sitting at my desk, to chart and what not, I'm so stiff when I get up that people ask me if I'm ok! Ahhhh, old age...<br /><br />My Garmin is starting to crap out on me as well. I'm starting to look for a new one.
