Normal sized-but not in runner world
No working out today.
This is way too much information but all the women in my family were talking about chest size. I mentioned that I wish I had a smaller chest. My mom said, “I know, I know. You don’t have the perfect running body.” Um, I guess she remembers my complaints from before when I was telling her that other women in my family would be better suited for running (chest-wise). I am completely normal sized, but I am big for “a runner”-or at least for running clothing. At the wedding I was at a few weeks ago two other girls (well-endowed, but nothing crazy) and I were talking and I said, “Yeah, all running clothes are cut for really small-chested girls.” My friend interjected and said, “No, they’re cut for boys.” I thought that was hilarious b/c it feels so true a lot of the time. All running shirts fit in the shoulders and then just look bad/too tight across the chest. I hate it. I guess the process of natural selection would leave small chested people running at the elite level. However, lots of people of all different sizes are runners and need clothes that have some room to spare!!

No, no, no...running shirts are cut for little kids who have no shoulders. They fit me fine accross the chest, but never fit my swimmer shoulders! Now, regular pants we all have the same issue with...
