I mentioned going to Diva Night at our running store awhile back. They talked me into buying two different pairs of running shorts to try out. The kind with the built in underwear. I haven’t worn clothes with built in underwear EVER…it seemed a little odd to me. But hey - I’m not one to question the excellence of pre-installed panties, so I bought the two pairs they suggested.
I tried out one of the pairs of shorts on the Dam-Bridge Run last week. I did a GREAT job on the race and actually thought at one point, Damn. These shorts are awesome. They make me a better runner!
We went to breakfast with my friend Stacey after the race. When I went to use the bathroom I noticed something: I was wearing my shorts backwards. And since they had built-in underwear, I was essentially wearing those backwards too. I ran 6.2 miles with my clothes on backwards. I knew at that moment that I would never be President of the United States. I’m certain it doesn’t take a lot of brain power to rule the country, but I’m fairly certain you have to be able to dress yourself properly. Unless they hire people to do that for you, in which case I’d be okay.
Of course I cracked up as I told MrZ and Stacey what I had done. MrZ deduced that since I had run such a good race, then maybe wearing my shorts backwards is the secret to my running potential. “You always say it’s about finding what works for you.”
Yeah, I kind meant that theory to be used when deciding between wearing ankle socks and full-length socks.
That’s hillarious. I’ve done something similar many times. Once I was wearing two t-shirts, and had them both on backwards. Now that’s a special kind of stupid.
So this one time, I was getting ready for work and first decided to wear a blue sweater, but then changed my mind and decided to wear a cream colored top. I’d already had on a pink bra when I was going to wear the blue sweater, but the light colored top meant I had to put on a nude colored one instead. Oh wait… not instead… on top of. Yes, I went to work wearing TWO bras. And I barely need the one! I didn’t even realize I had on two bras until I’d been at work for about an hour. At least the nude colored bra did sufficiently mask the pink one underneath my shirt. So when I had the chance, I took off the pink bra and shoved it in my coat pocket.
You know, Miss Zoot- now you HAVE to wear your underwear backwards when you run a race. You’ve started a cataclysmic chain of event s that cannot be broken… its backwards or nothing.
Similar to Stephanie’s bra oopsie—I once had a cute bra. It was white and had colorful flowers on it. I also had poor lighting in my bedroom, which led me to believe that my white polo shirt was thick enough to not show the flowers. I was sorely mistaken. My mother-in-law came to see me at work — before she left she told me she liked my bra. I worked in a very public place and had seen many people that day. Dang! I wanted to just crawl under my desk and hide!
This is my first visit to your blog, but after a story like that, I will be back daily!
Two Entries in One Day?!?!?!…
To round out the month, I decided to visit a few of my NaBloPoMo brethren and sistren (a legitimate word)…….
Awesome HAHA… my friend put on her undies once… but that involved sex in a car at the bar. So not really the same thing
I’m only seeing your categories once now…
Just thought I would let you know! The spacing for the comment section is still wonky. The Name, Mail, Website sections are all cool and roomy enough but now the place where I’m typing is blown out too big, and its running under your archives so I’m losing part of what I’m typing when I get to that place. It’s doing that no matter how big I made the window too. And gee I Hope I’m spelling right when I get under there because I cant tell! HAHAHA
Your site looks soooo lovely these days.
And, um, hello? Ankle socks ONLY with your running shorts. Full length socks are for nerds!
