Humidity is my nemesis.  (Well, besides the pool, lake, ocean or any body of water in which I am forced to swim).  Not so much the heat.  But that humidity gets me every time.  One might think one would be safe from humidity on a run in late September in Connecticut.  Well, one would be very, very wrong.

Let's review. Number one:  I have trouble running when it's humid.  Number two:  It's humid.

Oh, and let's not forget that wee little issue I don't want to talk about.  Rhymes with mot blashes.
I have a problem when I run and lately it's only gotten worse.  Much worse.  I am running and it starts.   It starts as a trickle.  Then quickly turns into a stream.  Pretty soon I am  spurting.  I am a running water fountain. Only it isn't water.

Talk about timing.  In this case, perfect timing.  Look what just arrived in my mailbox:

Two of the cutest headbands ever!  And yes,  that  does say "one hot mess."   How totally, totally appropriate. The great people at bondiband  (http://www.bondiband.com/index.php) sent me these headbands to try.   Here is what they say about their headbands:

Bondi bands are a comfy, colorful and creative way to hold your hair back whether you're riding in a convertible, rushing out the door to get your kids, or getting some exercise.  Bondi Bands are an easy fix for your hair.  Check out our wicking fabric bands; they will absorb and evaporate buckets of sweat.

Of course  I liked them right away because they are so cute.  Obvi.   But would they stand up to their billing as being able to absorb and evaporate buckets of sweat?  One way to find out.

I donned my stylish new headband (yes, of course I had shorts, top, and watch to match).  It was comfy and cute.  Went for a run.  A long run.  It was hot.  Very, very hot.  Started to trickle.  Then spurt. Everywhere......except my head!  Oh, joy.  Joy!   My magical new headband was working!  It stayed comfortably in place the whole time I was running. And it really did what they said it would do.....absorb and evaporate buckets of sweat.  

Now, dear 17 followers and 2 lurkers, do you think it would be weird if I wrapped my entire body in bondibands?  And not just while I'm running?  Forget about taking supplements or eating more soy.  I think I'm on to something here....
