Kona Lesson 2: Let it all hang out – Underpants Run

I don’t run in a sports bra…ever. I have talked before on the blog about me “abs” goal and my lack of having defined abs. I also recognize that eating any of the foods to which I am sensitive makes a major difference in my abdomen.

Kona put my body confidence to the test with the Annual Underpants Run. Not only was I to wear skivvies, but to do it around more hard bodies than I’ve seen in ages. Young, old, short, tall…all ripped.Then Danica {Chic Runner} came bounding out this morning in her sports bra and swimsuit saying “here I am world”!! I love my body, I love cheese and let’s do this thing {Seriously she told m yesterday my chocolate was her cheese}. I think the reason readers love her so much is because she is just authentic about who she is and she’s happy.
All right the shirt came off and while I wasn’t up for a 6 mile run in my undies, I did wear my sport bikini top and shorts all morning without spending time crossing my arms or trying to hide anything. I even agreed to photos and then shared those photos!!

Lest you think I’m kidding, here are a few of the great outfits and bods we saw today!! Loved that Team Timex was sporting the old slogan “Takes a lIcking and keeps on ticking” and that everyone was out there to have a good time, which is really what allowed me to let it all hang out and just enjoy the experience. Love this guys suit which was about raising awareness for male cancers and  yes he actually races in this all year long!!

Are you a sports bra runner? Ever done anything like this?? i think maybe just maybe after this I could do a bare buns run, assuming it was somewhere no one knew me! Who knew I would learn from this experience things beyond being a better athlete!
