i have pronounced "it" dead.

my favorite sports bra has officially died. i had it for years, since high school though my college field hockey days and onto my inline skate workouts. it was tie-die and went by the brand name of "moving comfort". i bought it at a lacrosse store in maryland where they sold only "moving comfort" sports bras in a huge variety of patterns. in high school it was the "it" sports bra to have and with good reason. Not only was it fashionable but it stayed true to its name, it was comfortable and it never wore out...well...that is until now...10 years later.  

for someone who works out constantly, i only have 3 sports bras, so you can see why putting one to sleep is a big deal. i think the "sports bra" is  to expensive to have a dozen or even a half-a-dozen,  i don't trust them...putting $40 down on an item that you can only test without the tags on isn't cool. if you don't like it you can't return the sweaty thing, so i protest in my own way and keep my collection small. 

however, it was time to try a new sports bra, first i purchased one at target (big mistake) they do not come with much support. next i tried marshalls, they had a nike dry fit for $16, you can't beat that price, plus, i've been wanting to test this dry fit material for some time. i wore it tonight, it wasn't bad, it did it's basic job, gave me support. i may sound a bit disappointed, because i am, the thing didn't keep me dry. nike lied. i hate that. "moving comfort" never treated me that way.

o well...one little white lie won't keep me down. it willl do. but if you have any suggestions let me know... i'm ready to test more out...it keeps me at the gym.

Did you ever find a mediocre new one? I only say that because if it was indeed great then you'd share the news. (I've been looking around since your post for a new one too...)
