Here's a topic that flares up passions: bras. Or rather, the need to wear better-fitted ones, since the well-endowed among us can cause duress--to others, and especially themselves, while running around the lakes! Yikes!

If you crave control or maybe even less back fat, you might care to know that Fit for the Cure is happening at various area Macy's stores later this week and through the weekend. Please note: You'll likely have to wait a little longer than you normally would for your fitting. But these events do much to demystify the experience. And they're for a good cause (breast cancer research). Here's the schedule:

Thursday, May 3, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m.: Rosedale, Ridgedale
Friday, May 4, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.: Minneapolis, Southdale, Burnsville
Saturday, May 5, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.: Ridgdale, St. Paul, Mall of America

Lake-side observations lead me to believe that what the world really needs are better sports and running bras. (Macy's doesn't stock the things.) That, however, is a topic for a different day. For now, I shall leave it to you, the experts, in the comments.
