Ugh cotton t-shirts

Every time I forget and wear a cotton t-shirt during a hot-weather run, I get reminded very quickly why I really should avoid them. This morning I did a 10K workout on the paved trail and as the sun rose the humidity subsided to a mere 81%RH. My tshirt was literally dripping and by the end of the run it was flapping around me like a nasty wet shower curtain. How annoying! I need to dig out my Coolmax singlets NOW.



On a more somber note, our hearts go out to those in London affected by the terrorist attacks. It seems unimaginable, such tragedy coming so soon after the happy news of the plans for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Nancy, I have rewritten this comment twice because I have such a visceral and violent response to terrorists. I only hope that the loss of English lives today, wake up the politicians and media in this country to the problems they are causing with their MJ trials, pretty girl gone missing this week round the clock news and coddling of indifferent murders and terrorists.

I apoligize for my rant, this just really puts me in a mood.
