Here's Alaska's prep star going at it in the race.
Notice the exposed face, hands, and ankles in the foreground and the exposed legs, face and shoulders in the background.
People who are in shape have higher resting metabolisms in general, but when we get moving that metabolism spikes (sometimes greatly) in order to burn stored calories for immediate fuel. Since metabolism is an indication that calories are burning we produce a lot of internal heat that needs to find an outlet somewhere.
Overweight Southerners like the OP might have a hard time understanding this.
So being dedicated working out now means one has a personality disorder?
lol, the things you see people insinuate on this forum everyday.
It doesn't snow where I live, but I have run in very rainy weather before after work. When you are in a groove and rhythm, you work out regardless of outside conditions. Sure, I wouldn't run if there's a typhoon outside, but other than that, nothing wrong with running outside in bad weather.
If you have to do all of that to run, doesn't that tell you something...:
LOL. All of what?
Slipping on a pair of trekkers takes about 30 seconds. Donning a hat, gloves, and windbreaker? Same things you would do if just going outside for a walk-in the snow. Horrors, imagine that.
And yes, this thread has told me something:

I agree. It defies common sense. They are showing off. Egotistical narcissists, attempting to make normal people who opt for a sitting by the fire, reading a good book or watching Netflix, feel bad. Or guilty.
However, we don't.
Yup, that's why we do it. To make everyone else feel bad.

Just stop...
@Blind Cleric... it doesn't make sense... just give it up.
We don't have snow where I live in the desert Southwest. But I see something easily as unusual. I live in a "dark skies" neighborhood. Meaning we're in between two observatories and choose not to pollute the night sky with a lot of lights. So we have people here who jog in complete darkness carrying a flashlight. Meanwhile, we have irregular sidewalks, rocks on the roads, even coyotes and bobcats out sometimes at night. Quite often you will see a bouncing flashlight come down the street even at midnight or four a.m. and it's a jogger.
