All the Money in the World

If you were to have asked me 1 hour ago what I would do with all the money in the world, I would not have replied with meaningful ideas like solving world hunger or world peace.  I would had said something like, get the fat sucked out of my inner thighs so they can't rub anymore.  But uttered in more colorful language. 




Turns out, once the chafing starts, it does not stop.  I only had a 4 mile run this morning and I wanted to kick the first squirrel I saw.  Fortunately for squirrels, they don't live on a rubber tracks.  Here are some fun facts about chafing:
  1. It hurts, a lot
  2. Even if it doesn't bleed, the top layers of your skin separate from the other layers, gross
  3. Chaffing spots scab.  WTF?
  4. It feels like someone is scouring your tender spot with steel wool when you shower
  5. You walk like a crab for the rest of the day, and coworkers will ask if something is wrong with you
If you remember my comment in the last post about shortless running, this is the picture I should have had.  I saw this in a Lulu ad.  Yes, I am a Lulu addict.  I blame the yoga.


I'm hoping that all the chafing and scabbing will make my inner thighs tougher.  I'll be Lady Lizzard Legs.


Or this super creepy character.

    ah yea...chaffing definitely scabs - it's gross and happened to me on my neck. just make sure you keep it out of the sun! I had permanent chaffing scars that were symmetrical on my neck and i was worried people would think i either tried to hang myself, was strangled, or just constantly have hickies. body glide should help! or chamois butter...i actually find that running in leggings sometimes is worse than the running shorts with the built in underwear? but good luck!!

      Yikes, are the scars still there? I don't remember seeing them.

    Yeah, it scabs and it's gross. I'm going to repeat my recommendation for compression shorts :)

      Hmmm I may have to look into that . . . If compression shorts are anything like biking shorts, I'm going to look even lamer when I run.
