Relatables

This is a thread for H&F relatables.


As in: after I put on a sports bra, checking to make sure my nips are aligned.

Because you know, sometimes in the process of wrestling it on, they get strapped in all cockeyed (and that looks even *less* cute than usual in race photos). 



Now you go.

I do that too. Even my flat and deflated retired boobs (all done with breastfeeding) get smooshed crooked.

I can't think of anything right now, I will come back later.

I do the boob fix too - sports bra, bathing suit, tri top. All of it.

I can't be the only one who has used a long sleeve tech t as a base layer in cold weather. They wick!!!! Last week I taught in jeans, one of my Philly half long sleeve tech t's, and a sweater over it. Presentable on the top, wicking base layer on the bottom!

The gym staff needed to get bolt cutters out on Monday night because I forgot the combination to my lock.

I only buy black running pants/shorts because otherwise you can tell when I snissed.

I was sick this weekend and upset - not because I was sick, but because it meant it was 60 degrees and I couldn't run.

Oh yeah, me too. I call it swamp crotch....only black workout bottoms!

Yes! The indignity of being laid up sick is exponential when it's ACTUALLY good weather.

[meganew]

God yes. I hate when I pop in the bathroom during a run and realize I’d been running for an hour with the ladies pointing in completely opposite directions.

[breezy8407]

I only buy black, too. I sweat too much!

I see people at the gym with light grey pants and they are cute, but all I can think is nope. Not for me.

[campermom]

I need to incorporate a training plan for Kegels bc this isn’t just snissing....this is straight up COLD season and whenever I cough I completely pee my pants.

[jane6672]

Also, when your stomach starts working on a run and you have to check if there are people around because you need to fart.

Or... you farted unintentionally and then you check if people are around and they heard 😬

[vcubergirl]

+1 to the black pants. I never wear, anything else.

And +1 to the boob adjust. And also the armpit fat tuck. Guess I need to work on my pecs more!

There is no such thing as the perfect outfit for any weather condition. In the summer I wish I could run being naked (but see also: sportsbra woes), and in the winter it's called having one too many or too few layers for your run.

Yeah, often it's "do I want to be cold at the beginning and then perfect when I  warm up, or fine at the beginning and then too hot?" But actually I remember that sometimes low tech is best for that. When I was a tween, I used to run every day with my mom and we wore matching hoodies that were at least a decade older than me. They were perfect, because you could start with the hood up, even hats and gloves on, then when you got warmer put the hood down and puts hats/gloves in the big front pocket. The sleeves were just long enough that I could pull my hands inside too, if it wasn't really cold enough for gloves. When it was really cold, we'd just add another layer under them. And they were loose enough that if you got a little warm, you could just lift up the bottom for a moment to let the cold air in.

Yes, I usually go with freezing my ass off for the first mile so I can be mostly comfortable for the rest without carrying layers I had to strip off.

Yep.  It's even worse now that Wonder Woman's favorite chill spot is on my bladder.
