Bleeding Nipples??? No One Told Me About That!

220 Lbs - RHR 74bpm - Ran 5 kms yesterday in 35 Minutes (two walk breaks)

Good Grief! I was soliciting sponsors yesterday and my neighbor Elise was telling me that she ran a half marathon last year and she proceeded to tell me all the "secrets" that I needed to know. One included making sure that I had the right type of wicking running singlet and that I used "BodyGlide" or Petroleum Jelly on my nipples so that the chafing from the shirt doesn't cause my nipples to bleed. She says it happens a lot to the men who run marathons.

What the heck did I get myself into???????????????????????

Well I had to take a couple of walk breaks yesterday (probably a little cheating cause I ran alone). The best song was Detroit Rock City by Kiss.

My ankles are a bit sore as are the muscles in my calves/shins. I iced them and put them up while I caught the new series Traveler. Might just be the new Jericho (I still feel betrayed that they cancelled that show).

This weekend I am putting in a personal appearance at a Retirement Residence in Etobicoke for the Arthritis Society. Jeez - if I am going to be the poster boy/male model for Arthritis how come it can't be with Canada's Next Top Model?
