    That reminds me, I have a pork belly in my freezer. I need to thaw it out, cure it and smoke it so I haven't it in time for my long runs and races. Home cured & smoked bacon on the trail is nirvana.

    @almostsuperpowered those roads look perfect for running. Nice job getting out there! I may be wearing my ski goggles later this week if the forecast holds. I haven't worn them yet for running but I'm looking forward to when I need them. Before I had them, if I was running in bitter cold during the day I discovered I could pull my buff completely over my face and still see well enough through to safely run. It did an amazing job to cut the wind. I'm sure I looked (more) like a dork though.

    it is super dorky but also good for ensuring you don't get frostbite on your face parts ;)

    And yes you DO need to get that pork belly out. greatest belly of all.

    I agree with you about Fila - bad shirts, great cheap tights. Are they a Kohls brand? I don't think I've seen them except at Kohls.

    I did find the shirts at kohls. Not sure on the tights, i found them online.

    59 in that grey range between T-shirt and Long Sleeve where depends on sun/etc. Definitely not second layer pull over range :D

    I might try the shirt Joey suggested linked when I get some cash. Still a bit undecided. The price is good, so maybe. Seems lots of people on this thread like their stuff so that helps.

    But definitely get the feeling their "running expert" does not run or only runs in warmer climates based on the numbers :)

    No idea about other countries but here at least, in line with their low-cost thing I guess, they only seem to employ youngsters who I assume are studying or whatever. Cheap, not particularly well-qualified or experienced, kind of thing. So probably just about any of us in this group, even us relative newbie runners, probably know more than their "running experts". (I actually applied for a part-time job with them and they didn't even bother replying, guess I'm at least 20 years too old for them lol).

    Ladies who have used the Decathalon stuff (thanks @pastorvincent i think). They are in Australia and post to NZ (woo hoo). Those who have used the running pants, how do you find them? I see they mostly have draw strings and I HATE them usually cause I find they fit too loose around the waist unless I use the drawstring, and then they cut in cause I need to do them fairly firmly to get them to stay up. How do you find that aspect of things?

    @Avidkeo The one where I posted the link earlier, with the pockets :heart: , don't have a draw string.
    I just looked, they have them in Australia too, although only in one color it seems. I have the same ones in 3/4 length too, also with many pockets and no drawstring. I think those are from their "trail running" line. I also have some of the "road running" pants, they have less pockets and drawstrings. Although with a very wide elastic waistband, so that I usually don't use the drawstring at all, since they stay in place without.

    I ordered a pair of these and will report back on the drawstring situation. I'm hoping that like @_nikkiwolf_ mentioned the wide waistband makes the drawstring unnecessary. I do love me a wide waistband.

    It sounds like if you had to be sick, the timing is good. With the taper, you know.

    What’s with the brain weasels? My daughter had “crabbies” that were rogue grumps that she stepped on and they’d attached themselves to her and, well they made her crabby. Sometimes they make her have the “dead fish fits” and she’d flop about. I had to tickle her until one or more (depending on the severity of her mood) died and she farted it out. Worked every time. Maybe your dh needs to tickle you til you toot? I’m not sure what you do with brain weasels. Anyone? I think they are just pent up because they aren’t running. 😝

    Hahaha, you crack me up. I think my brain weasels might be related to your daughter's crabbies. I'm not ticklish, but my husband's pretty good at telling the weasels to shut up and go away.
