Sandals, not flip flops are 65% of my spring/summer capacity.

It’s fine if you are rolling about on a rugby training park on a cold wet winter evening (I would still not do it but the backs might), if you are that cold on your work out work harder… :offended:
Really ? We wear leggings all the time under our shorts. There is no way as a postman I would walk about in just skin tight leggings for the whole round when it’s -2 degrees. Plus leggings don’t have any pockets hence shorts over the top.
There is the other fact that underpants are pretty uncomfortable under leggings so going commando is essential. Over shorts are a good idea so that you don’t show your shrivelled dick to every poor sod on the street .

It’s horrible ( restrictive) wearing trousers when you have to climb lots of stairs each day. I do about 8-12 miles a day carrying a bag so comfort is essential.

Has anyone managed ?
Yes, managed it some years ago. I read it with a study guide (Harry Blamires’ ‘The New Bloomsday Book - A Guide through Ulysses’), else I’d have missed a lot of the context and cultural setting. The study guide also really helped to illuminate why Ulysses is considered such a monument of literature. I doubt I’d have finished the book had I not had the study guide.

Maybe I need retirement before the next attempt. Fewer distractions. I will ready this bloody book !
