A Stick Of Deodorant

Today, I took my first official run of the season! I have been doing maintenance running through the summer and because it's so hot, everyone runs indoors. It is now starting to cool off and there are a lot more runners out on the road. The one great thing about there being so few runners outside during the summer is that you don't pass people that have a "smell" or people that have a lot of perspiration.

Most of you know that I don't sweat a lot and that I have this ridiculous paranoia about having body odor. If you know me very well, you know that I apply insane amounts of White Citrus lotion from Bath and Body Works and carry deodorant and a pack of Altoids, at all times. It never fails that where ever I go, there is someone around that has b.o. (that's why I assume that it's me).

Today, I passed a fellow runner that could have knocked a cactus over with his body odor. I don't understand how he could have even left the house smelling like that. Doesn't he know someone that would say "Hey, Friend, you stink!" For that matter, how could he not smell himself? 

As I ran further along, another runner passed me that was sweating so bad that when he exhaled through his mouth i saw the sweat fly from his mouth (and swear that it came 2 inches from me)! Now while they may not be trendy, Sir, you must invest in a sweat band!
