Hilarious! I'm always losing my chapstick, but now I keep a tube scattered throughout my apt. It really helps. I do love it when I find one in a long-forgotten pocket or purse, though. Makes me gleeful. What a dork. hehe.

I've not yet really experienced wet feet when running. I tend to avoid snow and stick to the well-cleared paths.

I am actually sad when I have to throw away a Chapstick. Haha. Ido lose them sometimes but I usu find them (in a pocket usually) so I do get to finish them off most of the time.

I have a terrible habit of chewing on my lips and they crack really bad year round, so I am constantly applying chapstick and have it everywhere in my house! Always on hand!

I saw that on Pinterest too and laughed! I've miraculously had the same tube of Chapstick for over a year now....gotta be a record!

hahaha, I ALWAYS lose it before it's even half way used! Ha!

I ran in the cold today and my nose was numb!

I always lose it before! My tip for keeping your feet dry is to run on the treadmill...so I am no help!

I'm 99% sure I have never finished a tube.

2011-12-07T17:23:57.109-07:00

I"m super curious about these socks you're trying--please let me know if they work! I have gaitors that I wear snowshoeing and cross country skiing and I sometimes wear those if I'm running in deep snow, but they still do nothing for the water actually melting through the mesh of my shoes!

2011-12-07T17:12:34.135-07:00

Never ever finished a tube ever before.
I am working on two tubes now though, but I've already lost one. Never finished a thing of floss either in my life.

How do I keep my feet dry? Hmmm ... I avoid stomping them into puddles when I run. Would love to read about those major powerful socks!

How fricken true is that?! I just was telling someone how I lose all my chapsticks. I have to buy a new tube every winter.

When I get to the end of a tube of lipstuff I dig out the last bits to use it all!

So, bags over your feet? Indside your sneakers? Do they make your feet sweat more?

Hmmmm.

Good luck with the new waterproof socks. Will be interested to read how you like them.

2011-12-07T16:18:45.446-07:00

ya know what might work for you and your feet for snow running... a pair of thing (like 2 or 3 mm) neoprene socks... your feet will sweat a bit, but they wont get "cold" and they wont feel "wet" thats the goal right?

2011-12-07T16:02:07.228-07:00

I've heard of people putting duct tape over the vents in your shoes but I guess I've never tried. Curious to hear what you have come up with. And I've finished off several tubes of chapstick. But maybe because I go through it so fast I don't have time to lose it.

2011-12-07T14:50:42.301-07:00

Brooks socks are my #1 fav. particularly the infinity low cut. Never gotten to the end of a tube of chapstick before. :) That would be a lot of either being outside or ?chapstick addiction?? LOL :) So, about Brooks ID. I've been a member since 2008. Here's the link for more info: http://www.runbrooks.com/page/Brooks-ID

It has changed to invite only, but, if you're interested (and I get renewed for next year), I can certainly send an email of recommendation if you like. :)

TOTALLY on the chapstick thing. Reminds me of my Gospel of Sunglasses: "The amount of time you own a pair of sunglasses (i.e. don't lose them) is inversely proportional to the amount of money you paid for them." Dollar Store sunglasses are forever. A "nice-ish" pair? Gone in a week.

I use bread bags, too. Other than that I just moan and groan about wet feet! Can't wait to hear what solutions you discover1

2011-12-07T14:01:27.594-07:00

ha ha so funny!! I go through so much chapstick it is rediculous. I have incredibly dry skin. I have had psorisis since I was little and it is a daily battle. The winter is always the worst for me.

2011-12-07T13:26:17.488-07:00

that is such a good question about the dry feet. i have not tried anything specific in the past. i ALWAYS lose chapstick. i probably have at least 10 in my house right now and pretty sure i only know where one of them is.

2011-12-07T11:32:22.626-07:00

I never finish a tube of chapstick because my 4 year old steals it and eats it. :)

2011-12-07T11:06:32.413-07:00

Nope, never finished one!

I don't really wear anything special to keep my feet dry, at least not from rain - I've never run in snow though....

2011-12-07T10:57:01.415-07:00

I don't know if I have ever gottent to the end of a tube of chapstick....but I do know I have washed more then can count. :)
