Yeah, I know.  I've seen your a$$ a time or two (fully clothes Fatty), but it was all I could come up with on such short notice!

I actually have the same issue so maybe its a muscle gets colder than fat argument!

But wait, my bum never gets cold in the cold....then again, I live in San Francisco!  So my cold is warmer than your cold by a longshot!  who's on first?

Yep, still here at work while those guys have all arrived at the destination! 

Have a great weekend, guys and gals, thanks for the well wishes...JULIA, go get em tomorrow! Glen, have a great race!  Sorry if I missed anyone.  I will try to keep John in line.

Yup. It's fat. The blood doesn't get there and warm it up. It's sort-of a fun experiment (if you're into that sorta thing) to come home and feel various places on your body and see what's warm and what's cold. It tells you where you have fat layers. I won't name where my various spots are, but there are several. (And no, John, not my boobs -- not nearly enough fat there.)

And Steve -- no, not a shot on the capris at all. I know something went down involving you and capris but I don't really know what it was. Anyone who has seen Steve's legs in person will agree that he can wear whatever the heck he wants anytime he chooses. Just don't do a cold OWS with him unless you want to see an alien trying to work its way out of his lower leg!!

Party on, Vegas peeps!! Send frequent updates!!

gotta run - 2010-12-04 4:28 PM I finished my trail Marathon! We had about 3" of nice sticky snow, which was actually really fun to run in. YakTrax rock!Time was about the same as last year (4:54ish), but it was a much better race for me. I was still running at the end!

Spent a couple of hours with my shoe fitter this afternoon and after 9 or 10 different shoes, finally got fitted into some new Saucony ProGrid Guide 3's.  It seems I have developed more pronation with my left leg versus my right with more mileage, which is what has been causing my tendonitis to flare up. (Plus tight calfs, hammys, etc!!!)  So back to a light stability shoe from a neutral shoe....but man are they light.  Gotta quit dragging that left leg!!

Anyway, we started discussed the "cold bum" thing and he told me it is very common amoung both men and women runners and has something to do with blood flow and the size of the muscle along with how much use it is getting versus the large muscles around it.  I guess I needed a PT or a doctor around to fully understand what he was trying to explain.  When we were done, he showed me a pair of insulated boxer shorts that were specifically designed to stop this issue. 

So....just had to pop in and comment that it is not just my fat A$$ causing that issue!!

Seems like you're a little sensitive about your fat a$$ !  I wore Guides for IM training and liked them.  After the distasterous Newton's I'm alternating between them and some new Brooks Glycerins which are a neutral shoe.  Both feel clunky compared to the Newtons, but I'm sure I'll get used to them again.  I ran in "normal" shoes for years!

Julia--I bow down to you!

Vegas Peeps...make it happen tomorrow.

Nice run. Glead you enjoyed it. I don't find running in the snow a lot of fun.
