What are you wearing? I wear normal running shorts (lined) under running pants and that's great for me as long as its above-zero. Three layers is enough for Little Ivan.GD it, I'm inventing some sort of insulated running cup and making millions. Will you guys be my test group?Did 5 with 3 @ HMP today and nearly froze **** off, literally. It was painfulOn the plus side, I felt fantastic running wise.
Regular shorts (basketball style, I guess) under sweatpants. Doesn't cut the wind in the slightest bit.What are you wearing?

Ok, good gravy I am sore. Been a while since my legs felt like this. How in the bloody hell do you actually get to 40+ miles a week without your legs falling off?I was supposed to do bike intervals tonight. #### that. Tomorrow a swim and bike. No effing running.
As I've said before, foam rollers areSteelCurtain said:
for ITB issues.Like I said last weekend, my running muscles needed a great after a couple busy months, so I only ran one time last week, a not-so-easy 5-miler in the snow on Thursday. Also did three sessions on the bike trainer, 45 minutes on Tuesday and 60 minutes each on Saturday and Sunday. Got up at 4:45 this morning to play some pick-up hoops, and I'm hoping to run after work. Not exactly sure how that will work with the ridiculous wind chills we're expecting today. The treadmill is the bane of my existence.
Well, 'tis the season, to eat.
Tell you what. We'll suffer through it together. You run tomorrow morning, and I'll run today after work when it's supposed to be 10° with a wind chill of -5°. Deal??And by the way, I haven't stepped on a scale since before I left for Memphis. And I probably won't until January.
Yeah, I would imagine wind would cut right through sweat pants. Time to invest to in some good running pants or tights. I think you can also get fleece pants if you're regularly facing some serious temps.Regular shorts (basketball style, I guess) under sweatpants.

UnderAmour Boxerjock Briefs, UnderArmour tights, and UnderArmour running pants over the top. Will keep you warm well into sub-zero temps.
I got $150 worth of gift cards to a local running shoe company. Looks like I'll be dumping some serious $$ over there on new shoes and some winter gear. 
As running pants go, I LOVE the Brooks Utopias. They are perfect for running, and great to wear around the house. The legs on the Under Armor stuff are made too long for me to wear (No Mini-Me style in their catalog). Got in 30+miles on the bike trainer and 7+ miles on the dreadmill this weekend. Decided my victory lap is over and its time to start looking towards next year. Can't wait to get in the pool tonight. Nothing says 20 below wind chills like a swim.I got $150 worth of gift cards to a local running shoe company. Looks like I'll be dumping some serious $$ over there on new shoes and some winter gear.
Good to know on the UA stuff. I'm a 36" inseam, so I need them cut long.As running pants go, I LOVE the Brooks Utopias. They are perfect for running, and great to wear around the house.

Mine's 29" in case you were wondering.2,250 yards in the pool tonight 5 hard sets of 300, hard set of 500 and a cool down of 250 in just over 45 minutes.
You guys need to stop talking about your inseams. You are getting Tri-Man all hot and bothered.-----------------Nothing this morning, but planning on doing 8 cold miles tonight with 3 of them at MP. We will see about that as I am not sure with all the layers I will be able to keep up the pace. Hard to churn the legs with tights and running pants on. Giving it a go though.Have a great day all.
:finger:...but I would get out my 'measuring stick' for these inseams:
All kidding aside. You seem to be priming yourself for a great year. Give the cold some hell out there. I will be doing the same tonight. I am expecting wind chills to be below zero tonight. Fun times.
It depends on where you wear the pants. When I was bigger the waistline was below the gut and I wore 30's, now it is a bit higher and I wear 32's. I am 5'11" tall.ETA - Actually when I was bigger the gut hung way down below the pants, but I still wear them higher without the gut.
Oh, we're talking about inseams?? When 2Young said his was 29", it almost got ME all hot and bothered.....
....but then I considered his height (and race) and figured that he probably just forgot a decimal point.
Down, big guy! 2Young was talking about his Narnian love slave. He keeps her down the basement for when guests stay over ...gruecd said:....but then I considered his height (and race) and figured that he probably just forgot a decimal point.gruecd said:

I wish I had waited until January, but I got on yesterday
Drastically decreasing my workouts, and increasing my food and drink intake has me at my heaviest in quite a few years. I got in a really nice 100, 500, 1000, 500, 100 swim yesterday. My first 500 was at 9:07, and I'm inching towards going sub 9:00 which is when I feel I'm in swimming shape. After work today I'll get in a 22 mile bike ride, and :knocksonwood: tomorrow I'm going to attempt my first run in over 5 weeks (since 11/7 = my last race). I'm hoping to run 1 mile, stretch, walk a half, run 1 mile, stretch, walk a half. Once done, I'll get on my foam roller, which, as Grue stated, is an amazing recovery tool.
Good Lord.....
I was gonna give you #### for the other post until this. Yeah 48 is PERFECT.Good Lord.....
Hey, 48 is cold here.Besides it is fun teasing you just a bit.. ok, no more comments about the temps here, and no more bragging about fantasy scores on facebook.Good Lord.....
So where does 5 miles on the dreadmill come into this equation?I hate that thing. But I did mine today.
Sorry, but 48 isn't cold anywhere.Hey, 48 is cold here.Besides it is fun teasing you just a bit.. ok, no more comments about the temps here, and no more bragging about fantasy scores on facebook.
And like I said on FB, you're treading dangerously closely to being de-friended.....
I like it. It has been another great year and it'll be fun to capture it like this. Only addition I see would be training totals if they've been kept.tri-man 47 said:
Me too. I'll have to ponder this one a bit.
I really only had one "A" race this year which makes some of these categories a little boring for me, but it's still fun to look back over the past year and think about some of the other stuff. Reading other people's "funniest experience" ought to be good -- I imagine we're in for another quality round of al fresco pooping stories. Those are always money.
This would make for a great FF Team Name
on the list Tri-Man!Good stuff here. I've forwarded the link to my wife and asked her to find the foam rollers in the next 48 hours.As I've said before, foam rollers are
Still not sure how exactly I'm going to train for Boston. I'll probably just do Pfitz 12/55, since 18 weeks is too long for me to stay motivated during the winter, and it's tough to run a lot more miles in the snow. I'll try to make up for the lower mileage by really focusing on quality and by supplementing with some swimming and biking.
Time to shower and get to work, but I hope you all have a great day!
I wonder the same thing all the time, GB. I shudder at what I'm gonna be doing to get ready for this marathon in May. 
36 is a kick-### week. Great job!
I'm 6'3". 34 jeans are floods on me.
