I had heard great things about the Better Than Naked Shorts by North Face. I gave in, bought a pair, and wore then for a 3 miles run yesterday. Oh my goodness! I did not like them. I mean, they are comfortable, fit just about right, they dry fast, and don’t stink. However, they ride up. I have a problem with my big inner thighs and I was constantly pulling them down. Not sure if I want to give them another try or send them back? Any suggestions on shorts that don’t ride up?
I have decided to be a part of the Ragnar Relay Series. Yep 200 miles from Madison, WI to Chicago, IL. Have you done one? How did it go? Advice?

I love this list!
Love your list! All of those things look so fun! (Well, I've done a few…)For shorts, have you tried the Brooks Glyerin short? It looks similar to the ones features above. 🙂 Good luck for the "perfect" shorts.
You're nearly 40? I thought you were much younger than that. Very youthful spirited! As for shorts that don't ride up, try the Saucony PE Revival short. They are really short, though, depending on if that matters to you. Also, the skirts at runningskirts.com are awesome! I prefer the kind that has the built-in briefs as opposed to the ones with the compression shorts underneath.
