Runner's Tale
For as much as I run, it's to be expected that I would have seen my fair share of other runners partaking in the same activity. Included in these observations are numerous incidents of seeing fellow runners clad in, what I would consider, inappropriate attire. I've seen wide arrays of ill-clad folk running in all kinds of weather, but this morning had to take the cake.

As per usual, I scanned the three local channels to find out what the temperature was outside. I found that it ranged from 17 to 24 degrees. (Interesting aside here, the variation in temperatures isn't a seasonal thing. It occurs all year round. Now, the difference between 17 and 24 is negligible (Yeah, it's cold!), but there are times during the year when the difference is large enough to make one debate whether or not to wear a sweatshirt or jacket. Is it warm or not? Who knows.)

Having established that it was bitterly cold, I went about the task of putting on a long-sleeve running shirt, a sweatshirt, and a larger hooded sweatshirt over that. Three shirts, sweatpants, gloves, and a winter hat. Sometimes even three layers isn't enough to keep out the bitter wind.

Imagine my surprise, then, when, as I was running down Carson to encounter another runner (in and of itself not remarkable, as I said) clad in shorts and a t-shirt. That's it. No hat, gloves or anything else. Shorts and a t-shirt!!!

I have nothing else to say.
