I would do it if not in the winter!!! Seriously I would! It has a charity attached to it!

Do they have speedo bikinis not the grandma one piecers? ! Ughhg

I could recruit a team as well for 5K!!! The girls whom ran on my CBCF Team are Hot hot hot!!! I know 2 would be courageous enough to do it!

Sigh , too bad its winter. :cry:

I will watch and support you MR Bond!!

Well, maybe if we could recruit some Olympic swimmers or Pro Triathletes to do the run. I don't mind watching THEM in Speedos! :D For the rest of you guys, PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!! :shock: :wink:

You guys are no fun! I'm in if you are Scott!

LaDeChat you should be in too. It will be a good warm up (coold down) for the New Year's dip! Time to get the cold training in gear.

Bring on the skimpies!

Fine, as long as I can wear a sports bra under my speedo. Oh, wait a second, that's the morning after my BD and the RR x-mas party. Yeah, no, I think I'll be too hung over.

My other choice of activities on December 10 is a Christmas party hosted by my buddy the drag queen.

Apparently December 10th has been desginated Alternative Culture Day. :? :lol:

You know the solution to that ... don't stop drinking until after the run!

I'm thinking a hangover is probably the best excuse for total stupidity like this. That said, sports bra is allowed and there is no fear of this run being done as a PB.... Even happy-to-wear speedo Scott will have to slow down to ummm, keep things in order.

'Keeping things in order' is not likely to be a problem - shrinkage and frostbite are greater concerns.
As for you ladies wearing sportsbras underneath the one-piece - shame, shame ?

Mr BG1 might be in, I'll just have to convince him he doesn't need the nipple tape! Though, that's kind of become his trade mark.

I for one would like to see all the maniacs disrobed for a good cause. Besides, no one will be able to see me from the blinding white glare that is my stomach!

Are we topless for this event? I'd have no problem running in a nice red speedo and a sweater. But, I'm not willing to kill myself completely.

Although, I do recall making snow angels in my boxers at 4 a.m. after a couple of drinks. I wouldn't pay for the speedo, but if I registered in time to get the freebie, it would be ok with me!
