Spandex, sweats, and swimsuits…not exactly what comes to mind when you think of traditional business attire but for a professional athlete its quite apropo. Obviously most of my pictures are of in some variation of running shorts, sports bras, yoga pants, sweatshirts and yes swim suits. When your day consists of going from workout to workout it makes life so much easier and to be honest comfortable. There have been times where I’ve gone three days without a proper shower, oh wait, maybe I shouldn’t admit that. Don’t worry I’ll at least rinse off after a swim, but if I know I have another workout soon after it doesn’t make sense to wash my hair when I’m going to be pouring sweat again. By the time I get home after workouts its all I can do to eat dinner and wash my face before I fall face first into bed. You know its bad when I’m proud of myself for the few occasions I manage to put real people clothes on i.e. something not made of sweat wicking material. There just isn’t much point in putting make-up on or doing my hair when its highly likely that I will only look normal for an hour or so before I either have another work out or I have to go to bed so I can get up and do…you guessed it! Another workout. Where am I going with this you ask? Consider it a plea to reconsider your judgement when you see us athletes out in public or in pictures. We may be sweaty or water logged but That
