Freya Active, for example, makes very good sports bras in smaller band sizes (I bought the wireless one in a 28 and it's very snug and secure). Remember when you go down a band size to add a cup size to get the same volume, so if you normally wear a 34C, for example, try 32D, 30DD, or 28DDD. Figleaves.com and Bravissimo.com have a wide range of sports bras in a 28-32 band size. (I used to wear a 34 band when I'm actually a 28/30 and had permanent red 'scars' in my shoulders from the straps. Once I was in the right size for a few months, they went away, so maybe the same can happen for you. Good luck!)

I did 10 miles this morning also...it feels amazing! <br /><br />Thanks for the review of Body Glide. I, too, have permanent scars from where my sports bra has rubbed over the last 5 1/2 years. I never knew there was such a thing to prevent it. Gah. Well I'll have to get some! Congrats on getting back to double digits!! I did 10 miles this morning also…it feels amazing!

Awesome! I did 7.5 yesterday which is my longest yet. I'm slowly getting there. Hope to run a 1/2 maybe in Dec. or the DIsney Princess in March. I like to train slow =)<br /><br />I have a ? about your knee sleeves - are they Pro Techs? I use the Pro Tech arch supports and really like them. But now I am having trouble with my left knee and what I guess is PT syndrome, is this what you have? I have the little strap (also Pro tech) that is just like a band that goes right under your knee cap to help with alignment and have used that for ~week with success, but wonder if I should try a sleeve regularly too? Any insight on what you prefer or have you always just used a sleeve? Great job on your 10 miler!! Awesome! I did 7.5 yesterday which is my longest yet. I'm slowly getting there.

I loved seeing the "production" of getting ready for a long run, because I feel the same way when I prep for longer runs.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip on the coconut water, I just might have to try that. I also find myself in need of a Camelbak or some type of fluid holding device.<br /><br />I haven't tried the Body Glide, but when I started noticing chaffing from my shorts this spring, I tried Dr. Scholl's Miracle Shield (which I had bought to help prevent blisters with my high heels, haha), and it works fabulously!<br /><br />P.S.

I'm thinking of signing up for a ten miler in November but am pretty intimidated by the concept…the furthest I've ever gone is 8.7 miles, this morning!

Keep riding the double digit high
