New shorts!

I've been resistant to shorts in the past, fearing that they'd be too revealing for my middle-aged bod, but I put that silliness aside a while ago. Then I (accidentally πŸ˜‰) went to the Nike sale - look at these beauties!

Thanks - no way is black boring (old goth alert), but I just couldn't resist them!

We share similar weather. I’m in Ireland, 30 mins north of Dublin. So we get a lot of wind, varying degrees of wet and more wet with some more wind. I run all through the winter in shorts. I must look insane. Neck buff, hat, t-shirt, top, running jacket, gloves and shorts. Your shorts will look fantastic in December.πŸ˜€

You're hardier than me - I'll run in all weathers (except icy pavements - hate them - & resort to a treadmill instead - zzzzz), but I do love my winter tights (& I still get blue legs πŸ₯Ά).

Yep - I discovered that this year,moved to shorts & will go straight to long tights once it gets colder. Can't resist a tropical print - most of my face masks are the same πŸ˜€πŸŒ΄πŸŒ΄.

I think they have a touch of camouflage about them. Don't be going all commando, remember chafing is dead uncomfortable.

Relieved to hear you will swap to winter tights as was questioning the wisdom of running in shorts in winter. Frozen buns , ouff, makes my teeth chatter just thinking about it.

Snazzy, btw.

They're great! I much prefer running in shorts unless it's really freezing - last winter I only wore leggings twice (I do layer up a bit on my top half though).
