Saw a Facebook post today on a Geordie in a cultural appropriation scandal, they were wearing a jacket in winter Am old and sensible and wrap up now, despite being very well lagged to start with.

Jovi Runner Mar 2018 5:39pm, 6 Mar 2018 5,278 posts	0 Jovi Runner I run in a crop top for races when hot in the summer. I used to be self conscious but now I'm over 50 I dont give a fig (or insert other appropriate word:) ) - I seriously overheat in summer & a crop top really keeps you a lot cooler.

Sharkie Mar 2018 5:52pm, 7 Mar 2018 13,125 posts	0 Sharkie Back inthe gym for me today. Bloody hell you can't leave it longer than a few weeks ... I sem to have lost an inordinate amount of hard gained strength/power. Am hoping it will return as fast as it disappeared - but every year it gets harder. But then you all know that!
LazyDaisy Mar 2018 5:56pm, 7 Mar 2018 21,722 posts	0 LazyDaisy I may even have been one of those women, Sarah. Then I realised no-one was looking at me anyway Now I only tie a jacket or top round my waist on the Thursday club run, because we stop at a pub at the end of the run and I need something to put on as I get chilly on the trip back home.

Sigh Mar 2018 8:37pm, 7 Mar 2018 1,437 posts	0 Sigh On the advice of the vascular surgeon, I'm wearing knee-length medical grade 2 compression stockings all day, every day, and have been since the start of December. I alternate these with knee-length compression running socks which have very similar compression rating. They've worked miracles in clearing my varicose veins. Tomorrow I'm going to try just wearing my Compressport calf guards and regular socks, as that would be my preference for the warmer months. Anyone looking at me would think I was nuts though.
