A run along the canal with Kathryn was the order of the day today. Nothing eventful, just the usual nattering and me trying really hard to keep up with Kathryn's speediness.
The only thing I want to talk about is what happened afterwards. At the risk of the whole world knowing how gross I am, I want to talk about sweating. Why is it that sometimes, not all the time, I sweat like mad for ages after a run? I'm talking after showering.
Today, I had a shower straight after my run and, by the way, it was a cool shower (I have been told in the past that it's having a hot shower which makes you sweat). I got dressed and all was well but then when I got back to my desk, my back started to sweat... it didn't stop! This started at about 1.30 and when I left the office at 3.30 my back was drenched. So much so that I had to put my emergency reserve work top on which I keep in a cupboard at work and haven't touched in about four years (I kept it there because I used to run in some mornings and once forgot to bring a change of clothes so I made sure from then on that I always had an emergency change of clothes at work)!
Anyone else have this sweaty problem?
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't smelly offensive sweat, it's just not very nice to be sitting around with a wet back, even though nobody but me knew because I was wearing a top which didn't let it show.
I'm not ashamed because sweating means your body is efficient at regulating its temperature and I've read lots of articles on how the fitter you are there more you sweat (although there are obvious exceptions to this rule). I just find it weird that I carry on sweating long after the exercise has finished and after I've showered. I'm not generally a sweaty person.
