I have no blisters or chafing. Maybe that only happens when a person runs longer distances?

Or larger thighs. I'm just sayin', like someone who might know.

See, mine are pretty big, so I thought it might be an issue, because I have had mild chafing in the past when I've worn skirts and done a lot of walking.

Thigh chafing I feel I could deal with, I think. It's the nipple chafing/bleeding that freaks me out, but from what I've read it sounds like that's mostly a problem for people who aren't wearing sports bras, since then there is some nipple-shirt friction.

I am now trying to wrap my head around a world in which people run without sports bras.

This is an even bigger deal than the corn maze.

It is not a world my breasts and I have ever visited, that's for sure. But that reminds me that I've been meaning to ask you for sports bra recommendations! I feel it's time for an upgrade.

Also I am looking forward to hearing about your run, corn maze and all! Maybe you should get a Garmin, just in case? Though I dunno how well those things navigate corn mazes.

Daaaaamn, girl! This is amazing! I can only imagine how great you must be feeling. This is a Serious Accomplishment! Woohoo!!

Thank you! :D

It really was/is a kick-ass feeling. I still want to figure out a way to raise money for and awareness of VP via running. Maybe a marathon! That's a long way off, though.

Aw, your parents are so adorable! Such a mom face. :D

Congratulations, again! You rock.

Isn't it? She teared up a little when she hugged me afterwards. I love my mom.

And thank you!

Congratulations :) This kind of stuff always impresses me...so much willpower :)

jocelina October 4 2011, 02:50:15 UTC

Aww, thank you! I always thought it would require an enormous amount of willpower but the truth is that I have very little, and I still managed it! I basically train just enough to not die or collapse, and then once I start it's just easier to finish than not.
