The good news is that I’m starting to feel lighter. Even though I’m not running extraordinary distances by any means, my running routine is still a significant increase in activity, and, therefore, I’m probably losing a little weight. The bad news? Well, read this article.

Lack of rack: Why does running make for smaller breasts?

I am not what you would call well-endowed in the breast area. I didn’t get that gene. I’m really not self-conscious about it, although I know I feel more proportional when my bottom half is smaller, which is one reason exercise is so appealing to me. So this news was utterly startling. How can exercise result in me being less proportional again? How can my running goals be so good to me in so many ways, yet fail me here? Ultimately, although I admit it’s totally vain, I fear the loss of boobage. I will do whatever it takes to keep them at their natural, although modest, size. A stronger sports bra. Chest exercises. Illegal drugs. Whatever. I will not idly sit back and wait for my boobs to get smaller. I just don’t have that much to give.
