I know some of you run and/or do other physical activities for the sake of your health and I want to ask you how you deal with your sweaty head.

After 2 or 3 miles sweat is dripping down my face and after 4-5 miles my hair is soaked and my eyes keep getting sweat in them.

I've tried headbands and keeping towels handy to wipe sweat away, but it sucks.

Anyone have better suggestions to keep sweat out of your eyes?

Also I think this is really funny: the other day at the gym I was running on a treadmill and three overweight women were riding stationary bikes in front of me. The bikes had those televisions mounted to them and all three women were watching the food network. Image after image of fried chicken, cake, etc....

Turbin?

I think you're a sweat freak. I do not sweat nearly that much from my head. My back and legs, sure. But not the head.

Do you wear glasses?

I think glasses lead to sweaty eyes. Lack of ventilation and all that.

I just keep a little towel on the side of the treadmill. It does suck to deal with it, yes, but it's about all I can do. I never used to sweat all that much from the head but it's gotten bad since I've started growing my hair out long.

I use a battery operated fan attached to my blue tooth.

I sweat like a mofo. If it starts to get into my eyes I just wipe it with my shirt.

me too but once i get past that 4th or 5th mile - my shirt (at the neck and arms) is too soaked to be of any use.

i'm about to buy a ballcap or something with some of that "dry fit" technology...i usually run on a treadmill but as the weather starts to cool i want to start running trails and I don't want to carry a towel...i feel like i've tried everything else but a hat.
