\u2026Or How Anti-Chafe Cream Taught Me A Lesson About Looking Good.<\/p>\n
So, last week I ran a 5k with some friends. First, I want to be completely transparent here and let you know I jogged it (people were walking faster than I ran). Second, while I did not set any land speed records, I did take 30 seconds off my most recent PR. Oh, and a bunch of kids and several 80-year-old plus runners totally left me in the dust. Whatevs. I did it. I ran (jogged) all the way, and I took some time off my split.<\/p>\n
I bet you\u2019re thinking \u201cGreat lesson, Lisa!\u201d You pushed through, you persevered, and you finished\u2026.and then you remember the part about the Anti- Chafe cream.<\/p>\n
I have \u201cmuscley\u201d legs. Always have. I remember when I was much younger that my swim coach told my Mom that I had legs like an ox. I wasn\u2019t ever quite sure how to take that but I think it meant I had a good kick. At least that\u2019s what I\u2019m going with. \nAND since said legs are so \u201cmuscley,\u201d they tend to rub together when I run. And long (for me the 5k IS long) distances tend to leave me with a bit if a chafing situation. And I don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n
