Just like shoes, there are a million different variations that work for different bodies. And once you find one you like, they inevitably go and change it. ::sigh::

Yes . The sports bra I loved was discontinued. The search begins again.

I just went through that process. Good luck! (If it helps, I ended up with the Brooks Convertible 2.0. I needed something small band/big cup and NOT cross back. Not a lot of options out there.)

I'm kind of the opposite. I don't need big cups, still need support, but don't want the band to be super constrictive because I still need to be able to breathe

The Oiselle Lesko bra. I had noticed they hadn't restocked or added new colors in a while, and now it's not even on their website.

After this weekends run I decided to sign up for a 10 mile trail run Saturday night. It will be my first race since the WDW marathon in 2019! I wont be setting any type of records this weekend, but I'm just happy that I am going to be able to do it.

Hope everyone is doing well and summer running / training is going well for yall!

I just had a conversation that I think anyone who's ever tried registering for a runDisney race will find funny.

I was talking to someone about a race in Brazil I want to register for next year, and while giving me some advice (heat, hills...), he tells me I need to stay on top of registration, since it sells out quickly, usually within 30 days. I didn't say anything, but in my head, I'm thinking I wish the races I signed up for lasted 3 hours, never mind days.

When your grocery pick-up order includes Uncrustables, so the store throws in something fun for "the kids"...



It's all good because DH will totally play with it!

Yeah, so, I forgot to buy more bandaidds yesterday after deferring yesterday’s long run to today.

The scowl on your face is priceless. Makes for an epic photo, really.

At least you're in good company!

And the smile is epic, but in a hilarious way.

I'm just grateful that I sheepishly asked at the local running store what to do about chafing in that area. Spared me from that experience. I had not before then run long enough for that to be a problem, but I had definitely had some pain in those areas for a few days after long runs.

Just make sure you don't eat it. No telling what that will do to your stomach during a run/race.

If you need a giggle today, go find the new “music video” that the Holderness Family did for “Humidity”

I mean, who among us didn't eat some Play-Doh as a child? We're fine. Probably.

The Holderness family is great! They're from my area and were a lot of fun to watch on The Amazing Race.

Does anyone know if you can fit a 32 or 40oz hydroflash into the LUG brand waterbottle holder thingy? Hoping they have those at the expos again this year (and that I like the color/pattern) in the rundisney generic color scheme.

Not sure about Lug, but I just bought a Corkcicle sling today and it holds bottles up to 40 ounces. Easily fit my Stanley ice flow.

I loved them on TAR and started following them when they were on the show.

For my Houston area/South Texas runners, can we be done with this weather already? Good grief. The "feels like 110*" with 70% humidity is brutal. Tired of looking like I had jumped in a pull in my running gear after done with a run.

In Baton Rouge, LA and well yeah I feel your pain. I just leave my shirt outside to dry after my morning runs at this point. A "cool" front is coming this week and will bring morning temps from 78-80 to 70-72, so we have that to look forward to! Hopefully yall get some relief as well!!

West coastal Floridian - I see and feel your pain. “Only” 2 more months to go here… sigh.

We had a tiny little “dry front” over the weekend, which dropped my sunrise run Feels Like from the normal 85-90º to a delightful (for real - it was AMAZING!!!) 75º Saturday! High temps were still in the mid- to high-90s, but humidity dropped from our usual 90-100% to only 60% and the overnight low got all the way down to 74º. Just what I needed to remind me that running WILL feel better eventually.

It's amazing what a change of environment will do to your running. My easy running pace has generally been around 10:05, but when I ran at Gainesville my easy running pace dropped by around ten seconds. For one of my runs, I was actually running in my Zone at 9:21! I cam back home to South Florida and my easy run pace was back to 10:01 this morning.

Neener neener? This week is glorious, but it’s supposed to warm back up this weekend. If it says “52” we will probably get upper 40s at our house, which isn’t great for my tomatoes.
