    It appears rolling yourself in baby powder before the run did the trick! No sweat is kind of weird though.

    i think i've been sweating for two people; perhaps your sweat has invaded my body?

    That's crazy talk, I sweated just listening to the conditions you ran in. Are you hydrated enough (or at all)?

    and of course by "listening" I meant reading.

    Oh no...that can't be "good"...can it? Although I'd like to sweat less than I do.

    I was going to point out hydration, or lack thereof, as well. What does your doctor say?
    You could always try panting ;O)

    What? No sweat? How? Just reading the numbers 89 made me totally break out in a cold one.

    While in some ways, I would be completely jealous of a nonsweating sister, that can't be good.

    So if I had to guess, I'd say perhaps it's because the humidity is low? Puzzling!

    Soo strange! I sweat so much in hot and humid temperatures. Were you hydrated enough?

    As someone who shared a van with you for 30+ hours, I can say that I actually appreciate your lack of sweating. Although, I suppose I'm being selfish. I do understand your need to cool off during runs.

    Dr. Google is clearly failing you here. Presumably so is Dr. Real Doctor. Who is left to turn to?
    But, you're married, shouldn't this be something your hubs can fix??

    Hmmm, so while there's no relief for your health condition, have you ever considering using the real degrees symbol for temperature?
    On a normal keyboard, it is supposedly ALT+248 (on the NUMBER pad).

    Well, it could be that you were dehydrated from the beginning. If there is no fluids to cool down your body there's of course no sweat. But you want to keep a close eye on it, over heating can be be very dangerous.

    Just in case you lost it somewhere you'd better keep looking for it while doing future runs.

    That's a little odd....maybe you are such a well oiled machine you don't need to sweat?!

    45% humidity is lower than what you, and I, typically have, but at 89, I would think you should be sweating buckets. I know I am!

    Yesterday, in yoga class, my shirt was wet after class. Everyone else ended the class looking great. urgh!

    be careful! hydrate, and get "checked out"

  33. UnknownMay 26, 2011 at 8:33 PM

    I am a heavy sweater (gross)..... if it's not usual for you then get more fluids in and some electrolytes!!!!

    Take care out there!

    That is so weird! I'm disgusting when I get back from running. How do you feel when you run since your body probably can't cool you down?

  35. Matthew BradfordMay 27, 2011 at 9:13 AM

    Seriously? No sweating. You lie.

    If you're not lying then you need to teach me how to teach my body not to sweat.

    LOL! You can have some of mine. I think yesterday I started sweating when I was opening my car door....

    I don't know anything about it, but I've heard sweating is better. I don't seat much... nothing to do.

  39. LaurenMay 28, 2011 at 12:59 AM

    I sweat buckets. You are more than welcome to have some of mine (I know, I know, that sounds gross!) but I really do sweat buckets. Your sweating will pick up soon, I'm sure. :)

    Soo..are you sad that you don't sweat anymore? Technically sweating is a good thing, but pretty annoying (for me, at least). I'm sure once the summer heat arrives, it'll happen more easily :)

    I once heard that bodies have their own way of cooling themselves.. Some better than others..
    Are you on any new medicine though? My little boy is and it stops him from sweating which is just miserable for him!

  43. EmLitJune 5, 2011 at 11:22 AM

    Yikes, I'm sorry that you're still having this problem. Like many others, I wish I could give you some of my sweat, I definitely have more than my fair share.
