Sweat. Lots of it.

So I am at a loss. I hear your not supposed to run with a hat on. If that's true, then how are you supposed to keep the sweat from running down your head and into your eyes? 

I wear an Addidas Climalite Hat that has a sweat band built in. However, I am not sold on this hat or ball cap. While it does a great job picking up the sweat, it does not dry very quickly. Even running 3 miles tonight it was soaked all the way through. 

If you are unfamiliar, sweat picks up oil and other contaminants that make your eyes burn upon entry. 

So, for a bald guy, I am not sure if there is a better way to handle it. I really don't think I want to don a sweat band and look like Richard Simmons from the 80's... But I keep thinking there has to be a better way.

Post here or on my Facebook page if you have ideas.

Today's run I was trying to run at race pace of an 11 min mile and had pretty even times.
