The Plan - Run 4 Miles EZ (easy pace)
The Result - 2ish miles
The Reason - Chafing

Ugh! Chafing is a common problem with long distance running. And yesterday I gots me some! The weather was cool yesterday so I was not sweating a lot, but I ran far - so my lose skinned arms (result of weight loss) decided to rub dry near my pit area. So now I have chafing. I could have prevented this with some runners lubricant - like Body Glide (which i put on my chub thighs) - but I didn't know there would be any rubbage. At the end of the run yesterday, I was feeling the chaf, and saw it when I got home, but ignored it while I geared up for todays run. And now I am sitting home 2 miles sooner than I wish - it was hurting too much, and I feared i would start to bleed and prolong any healing.

I'm just glad its not my nipples.
