A totally random, yet important, rant...

Whilst driving homewards after my visit to the blood bank today (how I've always dreamed of being able to write a sentence like that!) I marvelled at how the recent sunny weather and the 'long stretch' in the evenings conspire to get people out and about in mad fits of exercise - 'damn athletics' as my dear American friend might quip.

Now, while this is a wonderful thing to see, and is to be much applauded and encouraged, I became more and more 'upset' as my rush-hour journey progressed by the sight of a good number of female runners pounding along the pavements of Dublin with bosoms quite noticeably 'heaving'. As each lady hurtled past, bosom flying, I fairly resisted the urge to wind down my window and roar ' for God's sake, get yourself a bloody sportsbra love!'

It is truly one of life's mysteries that the vast majority of women can spend hundreds of euro on the latest matching running gear and trainers but take to their jogging trails wearing a €6 t-shirt bra from Primark. Come on girls! Splash out that extra €30 for the most important piece of sportswear you'll ever need....unless of course you want (a) black eyes or (b) bosoms hanging down to your knees.

So this post is dedicated to all those women who need to go out and buy a decent sportsbra - go get it girls!!
