Men wish they had a pair!

Hi everyone!

Met the ladies this morning for our run. I couldn't muster any energy to do my usual hill sprints. I am going to have to get over this hurdle soon. And after all these months, aches and pains are starting to rear their ugly heads. My left knee, my right leg, my left ankle, my lower back. None of these locations hurt enough to stop me from an easy trot, but they're just noticeable to aggravate me. I hope all this tiredness and aches aren't psychosematic. Could this be me subconsciously trying to sabotage myself before the Goat Milk? ...to be continued...

We did our usual run and normally, after the run, we chit chat about whatever is on our minds. (That's that part I like the best) Interestingly, we...sorry, I heard a voice in the library and tracked it to a guy with aesthetically pleasing arm muscles. Rrrrrr. A man that reads, or at least pretends to. I love it.
Anyway, the topic this morning was breasts and cup sizes. They delved into the science of how the cups should fit, what it meant if the horizontal back strap was too high or low, to which bras were best for bounce. Notice I said "they". For once they managed to shut me out of a conversation. If any of you remember my platypus theory, you know that my problems or lack-thereof don't quite pertain to the chest region. I stood speechless, simply without words. Upon noticing my silence, I made a feeble attempt to add to the conversation which was immediately met with "Why don't you try the training bra section?" Ahh, et tu Brute? I am accustomed to male friends saying this, but not women. I was dumbstruck back into silence. I mean, really...what could you say? I knew it was a joke, but all I kept thinking was, 'I'm not 10, I'm 30!' I've got something to work with! This led me to ponder on the drive home. Why do I, along with many other women, feel that our breasts help define us as women? Is it really us, or is it the men who cause us to do this? In studies, women with substantial size breasts do get treated differently than women of less. I believe its the men. Not all, but most of them. They managed to push their insecurity of their manhood onto women, similar to the way one person shifts their negative energy onto someone else, thereby relieving themselves of the burden. Seriously... how else would you compete with a beautiful woman who can multitask, have and raise kids, and work to survive on a daily basis?

You know what? My chest if fine. And I think my energy is kicking back in. Pat yourselves on the back ladies, for we do make the world go round. And the next time a man ogles your chest or gives you a hard time, don't get angry. Just remember... he wishes he had a pair of these!!!!
