It was just me, today; Julie was stuck at work and Mark is getting over a cold. The first mile I took a little fast (9:27), but by mile 2 (10:10) I settled into a good groove… and more importantly, kept it (10:00, 10:08, 10:14) despite the rain that started coming down right as I hit the turn-around point. (Naturally.) I hit my 5-mile point at exactly 50:00 and I’m quite pleased with that. Even better, I didn’t feel like a complete and utter idiot running in a sleeveless top that I got at Target. (So many brands of exercise gear have ludicrous looking sleeveless shirts; do I really need to have armhole slits that go down to my waist? It just makes me look like a hobo at best, or a shapeless blob of fabric at worst.) Who knew that Champion’s C9 line would not only have a good sleeveless shirt but that it would also be the cheapest by far? Yay for cheapest.
But now if you wear a matching short combination, they are not that bad. I agree that the large armpit holed shirts are bad… icky.
At Target… hmmmm… I might have to stop by the store.
The one thing I HATE about Target and Champion/C9 is that they seem to have a short attention span theatre lifetime subscription. I went by Target late last night to get another shirt or two… none in that style (except for a single XL straggler). Gah! Hopefully the other Target hasn’t already purged that particular style.
