Each Wednesday I've been meeting Becky at White Rock Lake at 5:30 AM... we run 9 miles. As usual, the humidity was incredibly high (76%). However, I came prepared!
A few weeks ago I decided to buy new "dry fit" running gear. I bought an Asics shirt and a pair of shorts, as well as a new sweat band (ULTRA absorbent)! These items arrived the day before the run.
Well, off we went. It was a brutal run. By mile 3 I was dripping pretty good and by mile 6 I was drenched. So much for the new dry fit clothes. We had some motivation issues, and our legs were still pretty sore from Sunday's run.
We pressed on... and finished our 9 back at the parking lot. Just as I was opening up my truck, Becky says, "Oh Regan..." I first think someone is standing behind me. Then I realize she's looking directly at my shirt. She then goes, "Is that blood?"
Well, for those that aren't runners, there is a problem that happens called "The bloody nipple!" Yep, my new shirt just kept moving up and down... basically "sandblasting" my nipple to a bloody stump. She asked if I felt it while running, but I hadn't. I was feeling it now!!! The old shirt doesn't move... so I just wasn't prepared.
Anyway, lesson learned. While us dudes don't have sports bras (bros), I should have remembered to put a bandaid over the nippular areas. Needless to say, I wear them now with that shirt!
