Race Day Ready #5 for the ladies- Handful Sports Bra and many many more!

Anyone else been on the quest for the perfect sports bra?  Have you gotten to the point where money is (almost) no object because all you want is a sports bra that fits and functions properly and you don't care how much it costs?

Well, me too.

I am pretty sure I have at least fifteen different sports bras- no actually closer to twenty.  Almost every brand you can imagine.  I am glad to say that I have found ONE that is just right.

This is the perfect bra.
I was incredibly tempted to edit this photo.  But I won't. 

Handful sent me a bra to try.  I was very skeptical.  I am more about comfort, fit and function than I am about fashion when it comes to my running gear.  Many reviews boasted more about how great this bra looks, rather than how great it was to wear during a long sweaty run.  And lets face it, after a marathon, one can only look so uhm... great.  When I'm running, the only aesthetic issues (which equally double as comfort issues) I am concerned with are:

Do I have a wedgie?

Are my shorts riding up?

Is my bra TIGHT enough so that nothing is moving around, but not so tight that I look like I struggled to squeeze into it?

What is UP and what is UP and coming...

Summer has been lovely.
I'm running more.

A lot more...

Here's what has been going on, if you were wondering...

The Colon Cancer Alliance Undy 5000 5k brought us a best team costume win again.

Jenn, Melinda, Eros, me, and John.  Sweating in these costumes is not so cute...

Well where have I been hiding, right?

Tweet Chat With Me On 5/23

So....  On May 23 at 4pm PST (7pm EST) I am co-hosting a Tweet Chat with the Instead Softcup peeps.

If you are participating in my Instead Softcup Challenge (it is NOT too late to sign up.  So go do it!) please try and make some time to join us.  I'd like to chat about more than just menstruation and we can make this happen if there is strength in our numbers. Also, this is a good time to ask any questions you might have about Instead Softcup.  I think they'll have quite a few high exalted grand puba experts standing by to answer any and all questions on the topic.

Sunburn On A Cloudy Day (NJ Marathon Race Review)

There is no better way to experience a mix humility and pride than to stand among thousands waiting for the start of a marathon.  For most of us, the competition is between self and self.  Something within us knows we can do this.  That same something has a little doubt.  That same something promises a steady strong run.  Yet that same something is already offering consolation for a nice try, promising that if desired aspirations are not met, that there will be other opportunities.

Jersey Shore Relay Marathon: Happy Anniversary to us!

April 21 is my wedding anniversary. A year ago today, we were married in Las Vegas. We took the boys with us and had a fun, adventurous, memorable trip.

I'll explain the ninjas later... 

This year, we celebrated in the best way I could ever imagine possible. No gifts. No dining out. No party. No romantic getaway. Way better....
