What I Learned About Body Positivity By Running Naked At A Nudist Ranch

We are back

Sorry for the delay in getting back to some of you who have emailed. One month of vacation equals one month of back paperwork to do. Also last the last newsletter simple did not want to work. The server refused to send them. After two days of frustration, I learned that Google (gmail) has been working on updates to their security. Their implementation date is in May but if you didn't send emails for a month via automation, they made the changes sooner. We will have to make changes to our send email scripting program before May. After that, we will work on the credit card processing page for memberships and reservations to our events. Just more paperwork and programming. At the next Meet and Greet i'll let you know about the other issues. Speaking about the next Meet and Greet:

Next Meet and Greet Live and in Person

    Our next Meet and Greet dinner will be on April 2, 2022 at the Hillview Restaurant which is located at at 6135 Transit Road, Depew, NY. They have a private meeting room.  We will start at 5:45PM. From 5:45 to 6:00pm is a meet and greet portion with dinner starting at 6:00PM. Anybody can come to our dinner meetings. 

    You do not have to be a member of the club and you  do not need reservations. Please come, ask questions, and see what the club is all about, socialize and get to know us.  The only cost is your meal and drinks. It will be a great start to the 2022 nudist season.

    It will be great to see everybody in person again.

What I Learned About Body Positivity By Running Naked At A Nudist Ranch
If you think that you look unflattering in your race photos, try doing it naked. Not only will you look unflattering, but you will feel physically unflattering. You'll smell unflattering, and you will sound unflattering.nude runner
Or at least that was how I thought my naked 5k race experience would be.

Despite many naked treadmill training sessions, I wasn't fully prepared for the emotional discomfort I initially felt wash over me while I lined up at the start line with hundreds of other naked (or partially naked) runners.

The pre-race fun began with small talk and cracking jokes with the other runners about all of the possible things that could go wrong during the run and how we'll explain our naked injury to loved ones. I shook hands with these naked people. I got to know them. They invited me into their cabins to take nude pre-race selfies to share later on Instagram.
Eventually, I stopped seeing naked people and just saw people.

There's no denying the fact that you’ll notice how every person's forbidden fruit is different from yours at first, but it stops being a big deal. You simply don't see a difference between the woman who had the double mastectomy and the woman who has breast implants and a perfect tan (although, admittedly, the "perfect" looking people are few and far between).  Click here for the rest of the story)
