@DrHairbear It says it’s a “polygraphic” shirt. Do you reckon they grow if you lie?

Note to self: When going to analytics.google.com, don’t assume the browser will autocomplete after you’ve typed the first four characters.

@hayles It was the feature where the browser says “Hey! I don’t recognise that. Let’s stick ‘.com’ on the end and go there!” that got me.

Buggering hell. Why is it so hard to buy running tops for lardy people like me? Skintight is _not_ a good look on a fat bloke.

@rbrwr Not entirely sure how the embarrassment of going outside to run in clothes a size too small encourages anyone to start exercising…

via Echofon in reply to rbrwr

@Squonk I found TK Maxx good for stuff like that, but can’t find technical, breathey running tops there :(

Normally I’d just run in a scrappy old T-shirt, but it’s the Bristol 10K in two weeks time and I’d like to look a bit better for that. Sigh.

@TheLloydClan Hey, I just missed .

@rabidbee I quite enjoyed the last half-marathon, where a gorilla was chasing a banana :)

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@mhoulden Nope, will have a look, ta. Not keen on internet buying as I’ve found “XL” varies from “about right” to “ludicrously small”…

via Echofon in reply to mhoulden

@Squonk Not a dumb question! Will add them to the list.

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

I dunno. There’s something about this T-shirt picture that doesn’t make me think “men’s”. http://bit.ly/d75KHd

via Echofon

@Squonk I’d just been looking at that one. It also is one of the few that doesn’t say “close fit”…

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@Squonk @mhoulden Thanks for the tips, folks. I have now Shopped. We’ll see if anything fits in a few days’ time :)

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

Where’s the internet shopping I was promised on Tomorrow’s World, where I could upload a laser scan of my figure and put the shirts on it!

via Echofon

@Squonk Ta! Sure the 10K will be fine — did 15 last Sunday for a laugh. More scared of the half-marathon in September!

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@KaveyF Aren’t there normally a few earthquakes around that magnitude in any given week?

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@Squonk Thanks! Momentum is the important thing, I think. Haven’t blogged today’s run yet, but it wasn’t very interesting :)

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@Squonk Sounds like the right choice. I live a good walking distance from work, but it’s a bit short to bike! Over too fast!

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@Squonk Yeah, mine’s only about 3 miles. 4.5 miles should be a nice little workout on a bike.

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@KellyJanner @Squonk I’m lucky: I have little fear of traffic and our office has a couple of shower/changing rooms.

@benjohnbarnes Sadly, a relatively common occurrence for large bodies of water in the middle of cities.

@csoanes Actually, now I come to think of it, I don’t put quite so much “W” on it. Erm. HEWristic, only don’t use your lips on the W. Ish.

via Echofon in reply to csoanes

@paulahillier Yeah, save it for an after-dentist treat and wash it down with coffee.

What? Monday’s a Bank Holiday? *blink* Hurrah!

@simonindelicate I would suggest choosing Extra Strong Mints if you make that deal.
