Corned beef legs!

Sorry if too much info but after this mornings cold dark windy run my legs looked so horrid - just like when you see young girls out in short skirts in winter. Think might need to invest in warmer bottoms!

Despite very gusty wind run 2 of week 8 went OK although was slower than Tuesday. Hope it doesn't get snowy before I make it to week 9.

Hope everyone else is well :)

I love it!!! An old work colleague used to describe my legs like turkey drumsticks...nice!! I bet your legs don't look that bad, but winter bottoms are good for keeping your bum warm :)

A chat up line directed at me years ago: 'Oh, yes, I do like ankles that can prop a girl up' On a par with Darcy's dad about Bridget Jones: 'a backside you can park your bicycle in'.

Sorry!

Well, I have never heard that description before, but I think I know what you mean.

Warm(er) leggings may be the answer, but don't get thick things ~ I find good-old Ronhill Tracksters are still be best. You can get slightly thicker ones, but fell runners use them, so they must be good!

Exactly mottled and very unattractive! I'd rather be a bit cold rather than hot but no corned beef :D

Not what you're looking for?
