Hey Ladies, this one is for you!
Sports bras are an essential part of any woman runner's gear. If you are a guy, you can just skip this blog. Did you know that are different types of sports bras? One is called compression, which is what most of us know about. They are great for us smaller busted women. It basically, compresses the breasts so that it is not uncomfortable to run. But if you are larger breasted, then there is an encapsulating bra. This bra holds each breast separately yet firmly. Runner's World has a whole section dedicated to sports bras. Take a look here, http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/special/0,7889,s6-240-470-0-0,00.html.
And yes, sports bras wear out just like shoes. So if you are an avid runner, make sure that your bra is offering you the support you need to run or walk comfortabley.
On to training... If you have been keeping up with the recommended schedule, you should be up to walking or running 12 miles this weekend. We also have a group walk/run scheduled for November 22 which we will be completing a 12 miler. After this, it will be time to start tapering down your weekly milage towards race day. I have heard from several of you about your successful training to day. Keep up the great work. Just remember this is your race, you get to define what you consider to be successful. We will all start out together and we will all end together, we just get there at different time. And that is what makes each of us successful.
For now, keep on training....
