I am naked right now, typing this post.  It’s a bit cold, but overall I don’t feel that much different.  I do feel more free in my key strokes.  I also have a towel on my chair so my skin doesn’t stick to the pleather.  I enjoy the fine things in life.  Clothing does serve a purpose other than concealing our bodies from others, but why do we always have clothes on?  I know people so shy that they shower in their bathing suits!  Why do we want to hide our bodies?  Were  are all runners here.  We all have fit bodies.  It’s time to show off what we work hard for!

Show off what you have been able to accomplish at the Fig Leaf 5K in Dawsonville, GA on April 25th!  I’ve run this race before, completely naked minus running shoes and socks, and it was the best time I’ve ever had naked in my life!  Well, one of the best times…it was pretty cool when I was born.  At any rate, this 5k race is held at Paradise Valley Nudist Resort so its legal to be totally bare Frank the Tank.  This race course varies between off-road and on-road.  I wouldn’t recommend running it barefoot.  There are a couple of hills because the resort is located in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia.  Don’t worry, your naked body makes up for the steep inclines with the decrease in wind resistance.  Clothes are so restricting.

After the race, hang out at Paradise Valley Nudist Restort and enjoy the pool or one of the other activities they have available at the resort.  Who knows, this may become a weekend getaway for you and your significant other.  At Paradise Valley Nudist Resort they have three pools, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, tennis courts, hiking trails, table tennis, billiards, and a nightclub with a full bar.  Your race day entry gives you free access to all of these areas!  Play a game of naked Marco Polo during the day then dance the night away in the nightclub.  Add in a 5k race and some naked table tennis and you’ve got an awesome Saturday!

If you are a novice naked runner, (I’m not I ran around the house naked when I was only 3 years old) then there are a couple of things you may want to remember when running this race.  First, you need to wear sunscreen.  Portions of your body will see the light of day that may have never been exposed to the sun.  Also, bring an extra towel.  It is proper etiquette to always sit on your personal towel when using the facilities at the resort.  Makes sense to me.  Also, please remember not to tape your nipples for this race.  It looks weird if you aren’t wearing a shirt.  Go ahead and tape them if you are wearing a shirt though.  Remember this race is clothing optional.  There is a wide range of runners from fully clothed to fully nude.  Running brings us all together.  It’s a beautiful thing.

Some of the race proceeds will go to benefit the American Cancer Society so go ahead and register for a the small entry fee of only 20 dollars!  The entry fee increases to 25 dollars after April 13th so go ahead and register now and save that 5 dollars you got from your tax refund for something else.  Not clothes though, that’s a waste of money.  Packet pick-up is from 8-945 with the race starting at 10.  There is also race day registration available for you procrastinators.

So have fun, show off your fit bod, and be naked!  I am.
