Armed and humerus

Running this evening presented me with my usual choice. What gear to wear? I'm an indecisive gear wearer, meaning I vacillate (word of the day, I've used it twice today) between dressing warm or dressing more sparingly. I'm always cold, so I tend to choose the warmer option, and occasionally to my detriment. Today I didn't want to run with a jacket, but I also didn't want to go with just a straight tee. What to do? Hmmm............

Arm warmers. 

I don't have any, so I quickly made some. I cut the ends off some black Wilson socks, and I instantly had some slick looking arm warmers. They ended up working dandy, with the only problem being some fraying at the cut ends. This is only a problem though, if you want to reuse them. 

I've decided to try and hunt down a pair of a real, honest-to-goodness, pair for the fall. I think they're the cat's meow. I'm sure a running store should have them, but I haven't ever seen them for sale.

Anyway: exactly 1 hour easy.

The socks needed to be very large due to pythons.

Well-I know a guy with size 14 feet who has a lot of "holy" socks. Maybe I should send you the lot of them by airmail. COD.
