Ok, go ahead and start laughing at me, but I'm new to this so......I just got a pair of Nike Pro Thermal tights for christmas. I put them on and went running around in them in about 30 degree weather and was warm. I decided I liked them but then a thought came across....was I running in underwear??? I looked them up on-line and it says that they are a base layer for use under athletic uniforms (or something like that). Someone please tell me that I didn't just run through the entire city in underwear. (OR that if I did it's just one of those weird/crazy things most triathletes do).

Lots of folks run in tights.  They all look the same regardless of what they're made for.  If you like them, keep running in them.

Sounds normal. Comfort is the most important thing. I have a pair of thermal long johns that were made for skiing that are the bomb for cold weather training. If you feel stupid wearing tights throw on a pair of shorts over them.

There. I fixed that for you.

I wear my thermals, and typically put a pair of running shirts over them, that way I can feel more modest and have a place to stash my keys.

Duuuuude, you're running around in your underwear. What's next, streaking? Won't someone think of the children?

My windproof cycling tights show off just as much as a pair of long john underwear, so I wouldn't worry about it too much :-) I usually run in a pair of fleece track pants, though. Warm and loose fitting, so I hardly ever scare the locals.

I have a pair of Under Armor Cold Gear tights and when I was running, I ran in them all the time. I don't really worry too much about what folks think. If they don't like how I look, maybe they should try running in sub 30F weather and see how they feel in big bulky sweat pants.
