Running in Undies: Would you?

Nearly 500 runners wearing just their skivies gathered in Central Park to break the Guiness World Record for "largest gathering of people in underwear". They did it...HURRAH!

I think that takes guts too. I am a former runner and did a lot of it wearing "almost underwear" but now as a 33 year old mom, I will keep the running shorts on, thank you very much. How about you? I love the fact people were having fun with the event! We caught up with some of the participants to get their take on the event....check out the video player on the right side of the page!

Footnote: I am only speaking of people who have chosen to be out in their underwear. In light of the Erin Andrews "Peeping Tom" issue, I don't want to seem insensitive. She was violated and I hope it doesn't happen to anyone ever again. Kudos to ESPN for having her back in a big way and reprimanding those who have sensationalize the incident.

*Also, thanks to New York City Triathlon for the picture.

LoLo, thanks for sharing your early days as a runner. Even at 33, you haven't lost a step.
Anyway, interesting event in Central Park.
