The Sweatiest Day

OK - trust me, the final check-in is on the way.

But in the meantime, let me just pass this along: today was the SWEATIEST day of my life.

And that is saying something. This is no exaggeration: aside, perhaps, from being around T-Clog, it's been years since I've not been the sweatiest guy in the room. I simply sweat buckets. And not only that, but I put myself in situations (mostly, running) where the sweat lets fly.

Anyway - today: cooler temps than the past couple, but still temps in the 80s humidity in the upper 80s.

1. B-Ball. Woke up, first thing, and played in my basketball league. Three four on four games up to thirty in an uncooled gym. So sweaty that, following the game, I took my shirt off and hung around outside for about twenty mintues, then put a beach towel over my car seat, and STILL soaked the seat by the time I got home.
2. Run. Immediately after work, went on a 7-mile run in the sun. OK - this was not a great idea. Sopping, sopping wet, to the point of my shorts going "flap, flap" against my skin, like running in a swimsuit after climbing out of a pool. I was that wet. And - after the dehydration of the morning, and the already-worked muscles, I was starting to fear I wasn't going to make it home. Or at least that I wouldn't be back in time for....
3. Kickball. Not the most demanding workout in the world, but still in the blazing glory of still-up summer sum; and I sweated buckets.

Sweaty, sweaty, sweaty.

We should have a sweat off.

Who would win?

All I know is that people need to bring their toast because there will be a lot of butter to go around.

Are you like me, where if you shower too soon after a workout, it doesn't take? (borrowed from George Castanza).
