What is a Rorsweat Image?

Strange things enter your mind while you are out running long distances. During one such run, a 22 miler, the concept of a Rorsweat image was born. You probably know what a Rorschach inkblot image is. If you are a distance runner you've probably had a shirt get a pattern of crusty salt and sweat on it after a particularly long or hot run. Marry the two concepts and you have the Rorsweat image. While this is just a thinly veiled attempt at feeding my fascination with my sweaty and salty running shirts, I do hope you'll at least find it humorous enough to stop by here and there.

And I do believe I am the first ever to come up with such a concept. That probably says several things about me.

On to this blog. Whenever I get a good Rorsweat image on a shirt I'll take a picture and post it, maybe with some ideas on what it looks like. Maybe I'll just leave the interpretation to you in the comments section. I'm not sure where this will go.

The idea of getting these creative thoughts without the use of hallucinogenic help almost makes me want to do long distance running.
Damn knees...Rorsweat indeed.
