Underwear Affair

The run/walk was last night (finally...a race run by my kind of people!) and Mother Nature even cooperated long enough for those of us in various forms of undress to get out and run or walk without getting rained or hailed on. This year the race start was moved indoors - guessing the organizers got thousands of hate letters last year, after we had to stand in the rain and muck for hours, and then run down a very treacherous, slippery hill. Anyway, we started warm and dry and on time (what a concept), although H. and I decided (during the 2nd hail storm of the day) that we would switch to the 5k walk, just in case. Either way, it was hoot seeing what everyone came up with for outfits this year. The Tidy-Whities were back, with some colourful competition from another team of brave lads wearing only their briefs. There were the Colon Cowboys, Spare Parts, the Incredibles, angels and ninjas.

Now...I tend towards the "Go Big or Go Home" motto at times...so I'd like to introduce you all to Dominatrix "Lady Chemo", ready to whip cancer!

Vinyl doesn't breathe well, but I did manage to avoid any serious chafing (thank goodness for Body Glide!)...I did not wear the boots on the walk, changing into my runners, but I still received many compliments on the outfit. I want to thank everyone who donated to the cause, whether to me directly or to anyone else. Haven't heard any final numbers yet, but I managed to raise almost $1300. Of course, that was after promising everyone who donated to me that they would get a picture of Lady Chemo all for themselves!

Am a little stiff today, but I think that's more from walking in the boots (we parked further away than thought) more than anything, but it's nothing Advil won't fix. And wouldn't you know it?? The sun is shining right now!

Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone!
