May 8 edit: If this is your first visit to my blog, you may be interested to know I do not make a habit of this. I did it for charity and fun as detailed here.
—————
Any stalkers I might have had will be long gone after this post and the upcoming video post (video should be ready later this evening)! Thanks to my wifey for taking the pics and helping with um…posing. Now excuse me while I go work on some sit ups and my suffering body image!

I think you look pretty darn…NOT BAD!!!! The bra TOTALLY makes the outfit. Every man will be wanting one now. What I want to know: 1) was anyone else on the track, and 2) HOW did the skirt feel while running?? Inquiring minds… (Btw, cute butt.)

Ummmmm…. wow. Wow. I was expecting a couple of backyard shots, and you went to a … track … and did a …. photo shoot! How did the other runners react? Wait … I see they’re not in the picture … ????
Good on you for doing all this in the name of charity!

Mark!!! I love it!! You are a good sport. So what happens to the imfamous skirt now??
On a side note….when is our site going to be back up?? The only running blog recents I can access are the ones from Thursday? Just curious. I know you have a “real job” and fixing the site isn’t your favorite thing.

Notice how the men are looking away and the women are making remarks about your cajones? I think there is a message in there, somewhere but it escapes me. I still say you need some pink socks to round out the outfit.
You do know how to strike a pose, though – way cute in a disturbing sort of way.

Could, ah, modeling be in your future, the Sears catalogue maybe? You’re a good sport that’s for sure!

YOUR HIRED!!
Thanks for going the extra mile (in a skirt) for so many great causes! Hope you didn’t pull anything with all those bounding leaps and splits! Special thanks to your wife for the fantastic (patience) camera work – how she held the camera so still though what had to been full belly laughs is amazing.

A couple of implants, a little lipo, some body waxing and, yes, pink socks and you’ll be one hot momma, I mean runna. Shameless! Shameless exhibitionism. Video should be in the $49.95 rack at least.
OMG Mark. Can you ever join an RBF meet up again?

Hilarious! I like the sixth picture best–who knew a guy had cleavage! The video was great, too. I’m surprised you didn’t get arrested!

I’m laughing so hard that tears are welling up and it’s hard to see the computer screen. The photos are PRICELESS. And you’re a great sport and a good guy. Now I’m going to look at the video ….

I think this goes in the “Why men shouldn’t wear pink biking shorts” category.
Very impressive, Mark! I can’t wait for the video!!
