It seems the more I run and the better shape I get in, the more I sweat. It's to the point where I I only like to work out in black shirts because they don't show my sweat as much as other colors . Even just a 3 mile run has me dripping with sweat. I've heard that increased sweating is actually a sign of an efficient cooling system, but it sucks being a girl and going to the gym and being a huge sweatball and using my sweat towel more than anyone else there. Most other girls are in cute workout clothes and don't seem to be sweating, while sweat drips down my legs and my shirt is absolutely soaked. It's embarrassing. Wish I were more feminine and didn't have to look like I just stood under a waterfall after I run. Oh well. It is a nice feature to have when I'm hungover and then I just hop on the treadmill and sweat out all the toxins and feel much less hungover. I suppose it has its perks.
By the way, I ate Kabuki sushi yesterday and it was really disappointing. Mental note to never get sushi from there again.

i can't run in the gym unless there's no choice. i just sweat too much. i completely drench the machine AND any machines nearby. even if i wipe down my body periodically. ugh. it's a curse.
on the fun side, though, my thighs lather up when it's really warm and humid out and i'm working really hard during a run. makes for lots of laughs.
i ran back bay at lunch yesterday (holy hot and sunburn, batman) and got my first lather of the year. like milkshakes running down the legs.
yeah, it's gross, i know, but what can i do but laugh about it? ;)
