Some Running Gear Drives Me Nuts
I’m talking about BPM. If you thought I was referring to Beats Per Minute, you’d be wrong. I’m talking about one of the newer innovations in women’s workout fashion. First there were sports bras. Then singlets with a shelf bra. Next came molded boob cups (or MBC’s) These were highly sought after because they covered [Read More]
