One of the perks of a home gym...roll out of bed at 5:30 am, throw on workout clothes, stumble to gym in the backyard, work out before the brain has a chance to wake up and figure out what I'm doing...and the showers are always empty and hot when my workout is done.

I thought one of the perks of a home gym was working out naked! Huh, maybe I am doing it wrong lol

lol I work out in a thong. My ass eats panties and I figure the less material to eat, the better. God that sounds so awful but it's true.

See, I knew there would be at least 1 legitimate reason.

Ditto this -- until recently. Now, for the first time in my life, I am capable of avoiding a wedgie, but only in boy shorts. So now I wear boy shorts because 'no wedgie' is more comfortable than 'minimal wedgie' from a thong.

I will work that challenge with you, my friend.

EDIT: Or not. I got ten pages in before the level of bizarre homophobia started putting me in mind of the study where they set regular men and homophobes down in front of explicit gay porn and measured which group had a higher erectile response.

i wear tight neon spandex to the gym, but i'm not needy when it comes to attention... it's really a safety measure so i don't get run over by a driver who doesn't see me while i'm running on the treadmill...

On that note, my wife has been a pain with nagging me about how dangerous it is to run outside in the dark. She tells me to watch out for cars when I don't even cross any streets (run up and down a 1/2 mile long stretch of sidewalk). I keep telling her I'll watch out for those sidewalk drivers.

You guys should really check this thread out. It may take a while to get through everything.

I dunno...I personally just wear the running shorts which have the built-in underwears so no need for panties! Thongs are uncomfortable enough...I can't imagine trying to work out in one...but more power to ya if it works for you, Kim!

Glad to hear you keep to the sidewalks and keep it safe. I am generally a calm, collected dude but I get intensely mad when people run on the road ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A SIDEWALK RIGHT FRIGGIN' THERE! The absolute worst is when they are running on the same side of the street as the sidewalk, they don't even need to cross to get to it! There is ZERO reason for anyone to do this.

No, but you'd get an entirely different kind of workout! I should try this technique for MNST with husband...

I think Maximum Network System Throughput is the most applicable.

Really? I think it is safer to run in the dark. Cars can't see you well in the dark, but because of those bright glowy things in front of them, cars are obvious and simple to spot from afar; it is easy to be aware of where they are. You are also a lot less likely to be complacent when you know they can't see you well.

Where I run my 5k in my neighborhood, there is about a 100 yard stretch of road with a sidewalk with no sidewalk anywhere near it before or after. I don't run on that sidewalk since it is just so short. (Also it is low so it is always wetter than the road shoulder and the sidewalk tiles are very uneven). But on the main road part of my path that is about a quarter mile I run on the sidewalk.

I have a literal laugh out loud moment from the awesome nerdiness of this site at least once a day. Today's quota: filled.

Glad I could be of assistance! ;)

I have the same thing; it's pretty awesome, isn't it??

Damnit Chairohkey, I have made it through 5 pages of that thread and now have a very bad feeling that I will finish it at some point.
