Menace to Sobriety
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

I'm the kind of guy that sweats in winter and can finish a workout in 30 degree weather with a wet hat and shirt. In the summer it looks like I jumped into a swimming pool. Unfortunately I haven't found any solution - in fact, I haven't been looking because I assume there is no solution. I always wear a hat and wristband to keep the sweat out of my eyes, and on longer runs I'll wear a bandana to keep cool and to wipe my face. I keep several blankets in the trunk of my car so I can protect my seats after a long run. Other than that, there is no secret out there, I just sweat and stay wet. I do find that sweating reduces my need for chapstick and body glide, so that is a positive, but I hate it when I sweat so much that my shoes squish. I wish I could offer you some hope but I don't think it is available. There is a guy I train with who sweats even more than me. We call him Sponge Bob Squishy Pants. Sucks to be him.

Jeez, Marshall, you must be my long-lost twin. I could have written this word for word. I have pretty much given up, too - the only change I made was moving from cotton shirts to technical shirts... and I will NEVER go back to cotton. Basically, it is what it is. The squishy shoes are definitely a pain, though. Contributes to blisters some times, and it's really just gross wringing out socks and creating a puddle.

I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Ya'all are like my long lost relatives. I'm a "sweaty Betty" too!
Do you guys need a triplet sister? I do ALL of my runs with a cotton hanky...in the warmer months to help wipe sweat before it gets in my eyes (this is WITH a wicking hat), in the Winter for sweat and snot.
You are one sexy, classy broad.
