yesterday, Thursday, i went on a nice trail run with Vanessa Runs. 13.2 for me. for her it was just a small part of her goal of 31 hours of running. one hour for each year alive. Shacky her BF wanted to talk her out of it since the trail was muddy and he didn't want her falling in the night. she switched to a "trail" that was old road to be safer. poor girl. probably half way through that run it poured down on her. that was the last bit of rain and she should be finished about 4:00pm today. i plan on bringing them some famous Voodoo donuts since they couldn't find parking.
*warning* don't read the rest of this if you're squeamish and sensitive! it's a little graphic.
Ok. you've been warned. i don't know how the hell that girl continued running. 3.5 hours for me to finish that run. we ran at her ultra pace which was slower than my maf pace! i chafed quite a bit where the sun don't shine. the jewels were ok, only some irritation. i lubed those up with some coconut oil so they were ok. the cornhole though, ouch. not rubbed raw but getting close. Shacky told me he was chafing a bit too. that was enough of a run for me due to the chafing. showered when i got home and used my devils hand to apply some more coconut oil to the areas. instant relief. put some cornstarch on after since that's good for rashes. i feel great today and only have a problem in my left heel. i got a cut there, or something imbedded in my foot on mondays run. i love the long run! just have to prepare better for the chafing next time.
ok. i know you squeamish ones read this because like a car accident you HAVE to look. your own damn fault.
