The first is mostly rhetorical, but how do women with big boobs stand to run? I only have this problem when I'm nursing, and it's enough to make me want to wean!
The second is for those of you who have lived or currently live in dry climates. Is this dry air something I'll get used to? I ran last night and it was so dry my throat and lungs hurt. When I woke up this morning, I was hoarse so I know it wasn't my imagination. And I only went a mile and half so I wasn't out there very long.
This kind of worries me because I ran indoor track during the winter in high school. I had to quit because the dry air would trigger bronchial spasms (similar to asthma, but I don't have the disease). I've never lived in a dry climate before and I plan on buying a humidifier, but that won't help me outside.
Just wanted to report that I was able to run the entire way last night without stopping! You'll have to forgive me while I celebrate my mediocrity, but this is a 25% improvement over my previous run, so I'm calling it progress.
There's a Fun Run/Walk this weekend that I might try. Why is it that only 5Ks are called fun runs? Someday, I think I'll plan a race and call it a "26.2 Mile Fun Run"!

I have been in the dry air for over 2.5 years and still hate it. I just got back from vacation in Branson and I LOVED the humidity.
We have a humidifier in all bedrooms and a large one for the living space (and spend well over $200 a year in filters). They help a ton -get good quality common ones (so you can find filters); they get your lungs, throat and nose moist enough to carry you through the day.
I still can't carry on a phone conversation for longer than 30 minutes without sucking on a cough drop or my throat will dry up and I will lose my voice.
We all use nose salin at night or our nostrils will dry, crack, and bleed.
Get ready...the dry hair causes crappy hair and skin as well. Stock up on extra moisturing lube for both.
Good luck!
