I am trying to take up running again after an 18 months hiatus (horrible emergency c-section after 4 months of bedrest = no ability or motivation till now). I used to run 4 miles 2 or 3 times a week.

Jane Iredale has probably been THE best, expensive though so now use a cheaper one, (Nude By Nature) and that does a great job too. <br /><br />It's not greasy, it doesn't melt off into your eyes, and your skin won't clog up and get all zitty. <br /><br />The Jane Iredale one has an SPF of 17 I think, and the one I use Annalisa Bruzzonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732616293788032351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-29735300614592154302011-04-24T13:38:18.991-04:002011-04-24T13:38:18.991-04:00I have really, really great legs and a great ass. ...I have really, really great legs and a great ass.
