so i went to the local running store on saturday to buy some runnin clothes for the winter (i.e. a long sleeve shirt, and some tights). i don't have any, and i am tired of wearing cotton t-shirts and small shorts and freezing in the winters. the store had nothing in my size. all L's and XL's.

so today, Sportmart was havin a sale, and i went. cool stuff, don't get me wrong, prices were reasonable, but the sizes: XL, XXL!!! i mean, come on! do you really want to see a person who has to wear an XXL in tights?!?!?!

it sucks being a minority runner in the U.S. i am an underweight individual, and cannot find clothes that fit! 6'2", 135 lbs. consistently 2.8% body fat (get it checked every 6 mos). man, it is so hard to find a pair of jeans and t-shirts that fit!

ok, sorry, just had to rant.

hasta.

re: fed up runner

maybe you shouldn't wait until Dec. to buy winter clothes. Most stores put their winter clothes out in October. The reason you only see L and XL is because the S and M were bought already.....but you knew that

You bet - people get right on that S and M stuff.

Marquis, Have you ever run the VO2 workout that bears the same name as your post? Found it in a Running Research News. It's good honest work.

Im 5-9 and 135 and Im really skinny. If your 6-3 and 135 I cant even imagine how thin your are, maybe it was a typo?

And here's my rant for the day. As a Grammar Prick, I am oofended by your lack of capitalization. I know that you are aware of the "Shift" key, since you used it when you typed "Sportmart" and all those sizes (i.e., L, XL, XXL, etc.). However, you failed to capitalize "I" numerous times and failed to capitalize the first word of your sentences. ALWAYS capitalize the first word of a sentence. Of course, many of your "sentences" were not really sentences at all; they were simply fragments. While I think of it, when you use "i.e." it must be followed by a comma. Notice how I used a comma above?

There is no place for poor grammar on LetsRun.com. This is totally unacceptable. Please recheck your grammar before you click "Post Message." Thank you.

re: Grammar Prick

"Oofended": not a word.

Also, I believe the sentence "I am oofended by your lack of capitalization" should read "Your lack of capitalization offends me" to avoid the passive voice.

I own you, Grammar Prick. There is nothing you can do about it, either.
