This post is not about trying to give advice on what to wear for the Insane Inflatable 5K Obstacle Fun Run, Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 in New Bedford. This is about giving newbies advice on what NOT to wear to avoid unnecessary hassles that can literally drag you down. Baggy 100 per cent cotton gets weighed down in your sweat, and once it gets wet from whatever, it stays wet. Think lighter. It should be a no-brainer to leave jewelry, bangle bracelets and fancy necklaces at home. Nothing worse than losing a sentimental piece of jewelry along the insane course.

As for the brand new sneakers, leave them at home. Wear your old ones. Avoid wearing short shorts, especially with no underwear, for my sake! Reminds me of Weird Al's "Please Don't Wear Your Thong." Forget the make-up and stilettos, flip-flops, shoes with cleats and see through blouses. And please, not too much cologne or perfume. Sunglasses can fly off, so secure them with a clip-on band.

Here are a few more ideas of what NOT to wear to the exciting and Insane Inflatable 5K Obstacle Fun Run.
