Run run run ...

I am...JOGMAN

This running thing is getting a wee bit costly.

$60 Registration for Team Ortho's Monster Half-Marathon
$63 Membership at insanely cool health club

That wasn't so bad.

$14 ThorLo socks, per pair
$20 UnderArmor BoxerBriefs, per pair
Which sounds a bit nutty--pun TOTALLY unintended--but if you run for an hour or more at a time? YOU NEED THESE. Oh God do you ever.

Then I read the forecast for today...30° F low, 41° high and started thinking.
If it's this cold now, how cold will it be come Halloween?
And am I going to run in said elements for TWO HOURS and change?

Quick! Back to the store!

$55 UA ColdGear leggings (yes, I said leggings. Stop laughing)
$55 UA Coldgear top
$25 4-way face mask
$35 Manzella Hi-Viz hatchback convertible mitten-gloves

For 170 bucks--scratch that==170 MORE bucks--I really should look less like a man playing in a life-size set of ninja underoos. Lucky me. I have a very, very, VERY understanding wife. VERY. Frankly, I think her 'very understanding' muscle has had more of a workout than my quads lately.

Well, looks like my overpriced socks are done tumbling in the dryer, sooooooo let's see what this new stuff can do!

And it you see me out there?
Promise not to call the cops just cuz you see a masked black man running down the road.
Pretty please?

OK now I gotta know what those boxers do for you that's so necessary?

It's like the Matrix.
You can't really be told.
I mean, someone could say the words?
But you wouldn't get it.

You'd have to run with regular undies and then put these on and run some more and then you'd be all OHHHHHH I GET IT and making mad dashes to the store, ramming other cars in your path when they're 2 for $35.
