WORKOUT – Ran outside 8.5 miles/1:17
I said I wasn’t going to run today, I know. I’m a loser. At least say it to my face and not behind my (sweaty) back.
I’ve ran the last 7 days here in Phoenix, and while I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, none of the runs have been hard. In fact, they’ve all been slower, easier, music-less runs.
So I wasn’t going to run today. And then it rained. And God said, Let it be cooler. And it was.
It was also humid-er.
Oh, what’s that? That’s not a good enough picture to see the butt sweat, you say?
Hey, someone’s gotta do it…. If that picture doesn’t make it to the top searches of the day on Google Images, I just don’t know what will.
On a side note, I only brought 3 workout outfits to Phoenix, and I’m sick of all 3 of them. I need variety in my sweaties which pretty much means a variety of colors of Nike tempo shorts.
I did the same thing when we went on our 12 day honeymoon to Jamaica; I only brought 2 or 3 workout outfits. And the gym was an open <HUMID> air gym.
That roughly translates to, I did a lot of handwashing in the bathroom sink on our honeymoon. sexy, no? That’s what you do on a honeymoon right?

We are driving home to California this afternoon so it’s off to pack, clean the house, and hot weather proof it.
Toodles caboodles.

You amaze me.

Holy butt sweat!
July 29, 2010 at 12:23 PM
That is crazy! Personally I seem to suffer more from the boob sweat than the butt sweat!
July 29, 2010 at 12:25 PM
Amaze balls. Seriously.

i can sympathize … when i go to the gym and run on the treadmill, i wear long-sleeve under armor/drifit shirts. not because it looks cool and not (only) because it cools me off faster, but because it soaks up and dissipates the drenching sweat that runs off my body. i look like i been running in the rain when i’m done with a short 5K workout, it’s so bad.
July 29, 2010 at 12:33 PM
when it’s this humid – even the gym is this sweaty. i look like i showered in my clothes when i leave the gym.
leavin so soon? don’t you like all our chaos here?
drive safe!

Rude. If success was measured in sweat you win 1st place homie.

I’m glad somebody will admit to butt sweat. Seriously at the end of my Zumba classes I have a great thong shape on my shorts or capris…and nobody else does!! Apparently I’m a sweaty maniac, but also, I try a lot harder than some of the old ladies in my class that like to just bop around (at least that’s what I tell myself)! haha!

That is what it’s like running in the Texas summertime! But for some crazy reason, I still do it.
You rock!
July 29, 2010 at 1:09 PM
My runs here in DC end up the exactly the same way! So FREAKING humid! Glad to know I’m not the only one with sweat dripping down my butt.
July 29, 2010 at 1:29 PM
I am laughing over that you actually posted a picture of your sweaty butt! HA
Love it! Safe travels back . . . it’s been cooler than an eskimo in Alaska here this week. Okay, maybe not THAT cool.

I was on bed rest for a day after our wedding and not for a fun reason. I was awaiting back surgery and my dress was so heavy it was a real pain…literally.
But on our last vacation that was me with the hand-washing
July 29, 2010 at 2:22 PM
I feel like a lazy bum now. LOL
July 29, 2010 at 2:26 PM
girl, you need to take a rest day for your body to recover!
July 29, 2010 at 3:09 PM
im from Australia and like to try and translate your runs into our metric system, can anyone confirm I got this right:
today your 8.7mile run would be 5.3kms, in 1.17 – I’m confused cause when i go on the treadmil for 5.5kms per hr, its a walk…HELP, I must have this wrong
July 29, 2010 at 3:11 PM
Ignore me, had it the wrong way around, 8.7miles is basically 14kms – thats far and fast! GULP hats off to you SR, butt sweat is making much more sense now.
July 29, 2010 at 3:20 PM
Haha, that’s a good workout!
July 29, 2010 at 3:23 PM
LOL! Dang! I never get butt sweat but I damn sure get boob sweat!!
July 29, 2010 at 4:49 PM
I have a similar swassy photo on my blog from a couple of weeks ago. nice work.
July 29, 2010 at 5:03 PM
funny…my shorts look like that when i drive through HOUSTON TEXAS…seriously…traffic is backed up for hours and I end up peeing on myself!
July 29, 2010 at 5:26 PM
That is some serious sweat!
July 29, 2010 at 6:34 PM
I sweat all over. I hate it! I even sweat on my legs and arms. It is so humiliating when the gym owner asks if you dumped your water over your head…..Uhhh No!!!
July 29, 2010 at 9:01 PM
you seriously never cease to amaze me. haha ha.
this here makes me feel a little less self conscious about sweating like a man whilst running, thanks. i’ve even hollered during a long run with the brother and his friends “ughhhhhhh i am like a man, and i HATE it!!!” after having to guzzle sportsade in order to make it home. lol

Regarding nike tempo shorts-dude you should check the new tempos with the squares on them, they are so fun! Tons of colors:

July 31, 2010 at 9:19 PM
