Has it spoiled you for other bras, Sue? Just knowing that one is out there.

One bit of bad news for me today - I think I have determined that my rain jacket is no longer waterproof. At least it wasn't very cold to be out there soaking wet. And possibly I just need to renew the coating on the outside, I haven't done that in years.

Well done -t! I want to download the Zombie app today. Which one do you use? There seem to be a few.

Congrats on the good 5k, -t!

I cannot even talk about bras, and I'm even at a more reasonable size these days.

OK, the entire staircase has one layer of varnish. Starting round 2 (the railings that I just finished will have cured an hour by the time I get to them.)

I've been using Zombies, Run! 5k Training by Six to Start, Laura

Thanks guys!

I better sign up for another one while I am still on the endorphin rush...

5k was great! I kept up a good steady pace until I hit the steep hill about a mile from the finish. I am not great at hills in general, and in the rain and mud I was just concentrating on not falling (a) on my ass, (b) all the way down the hill, (c) into the creek or (d) all of the above. Which certainly kept me from feeling bad about how fast I was or was not going!

Hooray!

Um, not really. The one I am wearing now I is a very nice bra I got for half price ($36) and I like very much. But every single bra I have has some issue, especially now that they've got some wear--slippy straps, high underwire--and that one just fit.

This was the brand, Empreinte. Splash screen of their website is NSFW [link]

Bras I am lucky in that Maidenform tends to fit well, and it's reasonably priced. And some of the bras are actually pretty cute! And it's a relief to hear how many of you share my utilitarian views on panty shopping.

I buy my undies at Target (Hanes Her Way) and my bras at Nordstrom or the Rack. Which I guess shows my priorities...

Brava, -t! I too got soaked this morning. When I left the house it was great and misty, but my weather app said the rain would hold off until 10. Woops!

By the time I got back to the car, I was soaked to the skin (SO glad I wore a wool shirt, bra, and undies), and the dog of course was filthy muddy. 90 minute run with an average pace of 14+ minutes, which was disappointing. But it's the longest run I've done in a couple of years, so I'm going to forget about the time and just focus on the distance.

Laura, I really like the Zombies, Run app--it has a fun ongoing story, and a lot of neat things to do on the website as well. AND they're doing an update in April, so excited.

Yay -t!

It was $210, and I just couldn't. But I've thought about it a lot every since.

Holy cow. (It puts me in mind of the free $600 haircut I got -- so much better than any other, but still not worth it in my budget.)

You guys, I feel amazing! Plenty of accomplishments for the day already and now I can just sit and watch my stories. AND I finally remembered to get blue cheese dressing and take some chicken out of the freezer, so now I can finally have buffalo strips for dinner!
