You ladies will not be able to relate to this, so if you are curious read on.  But my brothers, allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite pieces of running apparel/equipment.  Running in Nebraska, in winter is a chore.  Finding a place to run that is not icy, worrying about windchill, and staying hydrated while still dressing warmly.  It is a pain.  You know what else is a pain?  Frozen giblets.  Let me introduce you to the best alternative to a ***k sock. Brooks runderwear Windbriefs with the nylon barrier in the delicate region.  Drop the $30, might be the best three Hamiltons you ever spend.
