Let's Talk about 'The Girls'

Okay, all men - and I know there are a lot of you that read this blog - this is going to be PG for you. Not so PG for us women.

I got a very late start running this morning because my 11 yr old woke me up at 12:30 a.m. and I didn't get back to sleep until after 2:30. Yawn. I did get in a decent if not fast 8.5 miles but it was a little odd being out so late in the morning. What struck me was that so many women need to get better support. I mean seriously better support! I am happy that they are out there giving running a go of it - don't get me wrong - but please, PLEASE, go get fitted for a decent running bra!

We have some cautionary photos from our great grandmothers that will forever burn into my mind the all important need for proper support of the girls. Betty Debbie has even gone so far as to produce a cautionary poem on the subject. (I'm tearing up with laughter even now.)

I am a fan of the Nike multi-panel running bra. It breaths well, everything stays in place and it is comfortable.

So, ladies - and you know who you are - go to Sports Mart, Runner's Inc, Nike, Adias, or whatever sports attire store you frequent and buy a good solid running bra. NO NOT SKIMP ON THIS. If you need to spend a little more than you think prudent please remember you are probably savings yourself back pain and having someone like me yell at you (in my head) to get better support!!
