Running tights...
The pros. I need to stay warm on a run. There's fabulous space-age clothing being made out of amazing fabric. I'm learning to embrace the new running technology of the past twenty years.
The cons. I don't wear tights. Errol Flynn wore tights. Baryshnikov wore tights. I'm fairly conservative the way I dress.
Fuck it. I'm secure in my masculinity. If it keeps me warm or makes me feel fast, I'm for it. Errol Flynn was in some pretty good movies. Baryshnikov was a damn fine dancer. Since when do I care what anybody else thinks?
I bought pair at lunch. I tried 'em on. I think I'll live.
It's been suggested some guys wear shorts over their tights to protect their modesty. I can sort of see that. What do you wear under them? My running shorts come with a sling for the fellas. The tights don't. I don't want to go commando. I'll figure it out as I go.
I can't wait to hear Alka & Priyanka's comments when they get a look at me tonight.
I'm planning on running the Lake Whalom route tonight. That takes me along the site of old abandoned Whalom Park. My receptionist tells me they're going to be dismantling the roller coaster starting Monday. I'll swing by & pay my respects. That route takes me past some dive bars along the water front. It'll be my inaugural run with the new getup. I wonder if I will elicit comments from the patrons of the bars as I go running by? Who cares? I'm just running through...

Is it cold enough for running tights there? I ran today in shorts and a tank? But you do the evening thing and that makes a difference.
We should all post pics of ourselves in our running tights, just so we can feel better.
It's been in the thirties a few nights this week. I haven't worn them yet but,I'm pretty close. Pics sound like a good idea. Someday I'll figure out how to post 'em too.
