it's all in the accessories



there's a line in one of my favorite movies that goes: just in case i wasn't a enough of a freak already, let's add a tiara! that's kind of how i felt today. when i donned a sweatband. you know the elastic terrycloth doodads that old men and olivia newton john wear to the gym? my brother had been raving that it really helps keep the sweat out of his eyes. and i'm always looking for solutions to sweat. so i put my pride aside, bought one and strapped it on. i was already wearing a flourescent yellow singlet, so my dorktitude was pretty high anyway.

and i must say, during my 4 mile "long run" that sweatband really did the trick. better than my visor does when i run outside. i may have to invest in a few more of these elastic absorbant wonders. and hope the cute lil running skirts somehow counter balance their dorkiness.

hey, none of this "long run" in quotes for 4 miles. my long run this week is 2.5. we have to start somewhere! :o)

and man... that sweatband sounds hot.

Make sure the sweatbands color coordinate to the lil runnin skirt. This is guaranteed to take at least 30 sec off your mile.
p.s I replied to your question about pool running in the comments on my blog.

So, is that relaly you in the profile pic? I have only cartoonish images of you in my mind, and I can't believe this could be the flesh and blood MPA!

haha jess. it really IS me...i probably look much better as a cartoon :)

funny story about this pic: as heinous as it is, i tried to post it to an online dating profile bc they tell you to post pics of activities you like doing and this was really the only one i had of me running. but they DENIED it! saying something about it not being appropriate...but they were probably doing me a favor :)
