Sure, it's a SPEEDO run.  But if you think I'm going to sprint down the street in 1 square-foot of material you are quite wrong my Speedo Blog friend.

When Jeff and I started thinking, I mean REALLY THINKING, about how cold we would be during the December run, we started looking at pictures from other Santa Speedo Runs for tips on how to keep warm during the run.

Santa Hats are not just for the jolly.  They are great for keeping your head and ears warm.  Fingerless elbow length gloves aren't just for the ladies.  You can keep your arms warm and pull your ID out of your wallet easily.  Knee length socks aren't just for soccer players.  They make your legs look like candy canes.  But what about the neck?

Jeff, who has made his own Halloween costumes since 1984, is a master at the sewing machine and can spot an appropriate material in sea of cartoon character and flower fabrics.  Last year, Jeff and I sported our hand-made "Holiday Skull Scarfs" down the streets of Virgina-Highlands.  This year?  Well, come to Hudson Grille on December 10 to check out the 2011 Speedo Run scarf.
