Who likes Short Shorts?

Firstly, I'd like to welcome you to this blog. I recently decided to embark on training for the ING NYC Marathon...that's 26.2 miles. Driving 26 miles is a lot, I can't imagine running it...but I will. My first order of business when i embarked on this mission was to purchase the proper gear. Now I'm sure you have seen people in full out running gear..and laughed...I sure as hell did. Despite that I needed to see what the hype of those Short Shorts were. I didn't want to start with mid short shorts i wanted to go right into it. I purchased my first pair and noticed a mesh lining inside. Looked more like a bathing suit. Apparently runners do not wear underwear...seems a bit nuts to me (no pun intended). After washing the shorts 30 times (jk) I rocked those short shorts like JT rocks your body. Not only that - I put those bad boys on with no undies and boy was it a liberating feeling. I mocked it all these years but think I would create work pants like this. So much support yet so comfortable. Please be sure to buy such khakis when I release them to the market, they are in trial stage right now.

But I digress...the bottom line was that these shorts were so short, that if I didn't have the lining it would be like a tripod. I think you could see my butt cheek as I was running. I took one look in the mirror and laughed for hours. I should have taken photos, but did not want them to come back and haunt me when I run for president one day. Imagine me in those with two thumbs up on the cover of Newsweek...actually that would be a great campaign.

After hours of laughing I embarked on a run and ran like I have never run before. The mobility and freedom of my legs were ridiculous.

Lesson learned....Short Shorts may be good for a laugh...or two ...or three but they are unbelievably comfortable and great for running.
