    I can start randomly bumping stuff if that would make you feel better?  :P

     

    No thank you. I shy away from re-reading my old posts. Something to do with shame, I believe. Big grin

      Freesoul the true genius of a meltdown thread starter is to be so good you can start the thread walk away and it is so well done it evolves on its own.  Big grin

        I feel like dizzy has a special touch. I started a Color Run thread a few months ago because my friends wanted me to join their team, and I was curious about them and if I should treat it as a "race" or just a fun day.... and nothing significant happened. The topic did not divulge into nude runs and FUPAs. Dizzy starts one and BAM! Meltdown on a Tuesday!

          LTH brought up nude runs, which was unexpected. I am serious about setting one of my own up though, it won't cost anyone a dime, just bring your own alcohol and maybe some headlamps... oh and be ready to run from cops Big grin

              I imagine it would bounce around too much to be of any use...  but it would be amusing

                This has been an informative thread... I do love me some acronyms.

                  If lth is involved in the nude run I'm not sure I could get drunk enough.

                    Like others have said, if it gets people off the couch than I have no issue with them.  I ran one last year with my running club and had fun. Would I do it again, not likely. I'd rather do a mud run, then again, it's fun to play in the mud! I ran the color run the morning after a night trail HM. It was a fun way to get in a run to loosen up the legs.

                            And watching a buddy of mine run into a rotten tree stump on a trail run at night... it was about 6" around and just at belly button high... he didn't break it as much as fold over it and then vomit...

                              Its funny all the sponsored posts on facebook used to be mudruns and those trojans races now its all color runs.  I had no desire for those either maybe I should start a post on them too Wink

                                It does it to me too, I figured it was because I signed up for 2 color runs or I've read articles about them. I am not computer/internet savvy so I don't know how that shit works.
