Shorts

I just finished catching up on my blogs - the last one I read was TFH's latest post about what she endorses!

The third thing on her list was "Going commando beneath your running shorts/tights"!

Now I have never tried it but most of the women's distance runners on my team run without underwear on. I feel like TFH and I have are on similar brain waves - here is the process that seems to happen for me -

1. I daydream throughout the day
2. I read TFH's blog and I am surprised because she has written a post that relates to my random thoughts!!

Anyway, so I was thinking about this - maybe it would be easier to just run without underwear? I mean the shorts already have that built in underwear thing in them. So what is the verdict???


*Running? I gave that up for Lent....Just kidding. I took today off. And yesterday too. Tomorrow morning I have javelin practice...The days of Pentathlon are over and now training for Heptathlon starts. (Pentathlon is only run in Indoor track. Heptathlon (7 events) is run for outdoor track.) I will try running/sprinting tomorrow and we will see how it goes.

  3. I know that those shorts have built in "undies" but I have a hard time with that idea... :)

  7. Congrats on breaking the school record! That's awesome, it looks like your trip was fantastic.
    I go without underwear for long runs, but usually wear them for anything under 10 miles or so. Longer runs, I'm scared the band or fit or something will be uncomfortable.

  15. I have to tell you, I ran sans underwear in a winter race and literally was brought to tears as my "male area" had completely frozen. My brother had to carry me home and my humiliation lasted for the whole week!

    Anyways, i love your blog and read it daily. I have also started a running blog and feel that our humorous writing style is similar. Check it out if you're interested:

    Keep up the good runs!!
