Nipple Chafing

NOT A MYTH! I saw it's effects first hand when I went and watched Claire run her marathon.

Let's first read one man's experience:

"Whenever I go out for a run longer than 45 minutes and I don't protect my nipples I know I am in for trouble. First time this happened to me I was quite shocked. During my long run in the dark I felt my nipples starting to hurt. A stinging sensation. Not much to do about it when you are running! I ended up holding my shirt the last twenty minutes so that it didn't come into contact with my nipples anymore. When I got home I got a good look at my shirt and was shocked to see part of it was covered in blood. My nipples were bleeding. That was my first and painful experience with nipple chafing while running. Afterwards I haven't had the experience many more times, because I took protective measures."

Now lets explore more about this:

Nipple chafing is the result of friction between your chest and your shirt. It mostly effects men and only some of them. "Treat your bleeding nipples like a normal open wound. So wash them with water. Then clean them with an antiseptic and then cover them with a sterile gauze pad. Protect your nipples the next times you go running, because I can tell you that they stay tender for a very long time. The chances of them getting chafed again are quite high!"

So how can you protect you nipples?

1. Use bandaids, but there are some cons to using bandaids namely it doesn't stick to chest hair very well, when you sweat it can fall off and you can be a manly man, but it's going to hurt to take off.

2. Use cream, but if you're going on runs longer than an hour you might have to take it with you because after a while the effects wear off.













3. Use nipguards! Click here for more information about nipguards!













You're probably wondering if I have had any experience with nipple chafing. All I can say is wear a water shirt when boogie boarding. This may be able to prevent rashes and nipple chafing. When running you can probably prevent nipple chafing by going shirtless like Matt Brigham sometimes does.

Electric Boogaloo

So around my freshman year of high school I got really into this TV show called Dance 360. It was hosted by Fredo Starr and Kel Mitchell with DJ K-Sly providing the beats for the dancers. They would pick six dancers out of the audience and then have them dance off. Until there were two left and eventually one. The winner would win $360 and an X-Box haha and sometimes even a cell phone from Boost Mobile. As you can tell from the incredible prizes this show was legit. The show was noted for its famous slogans: "Yo, Fredro, where you at?!", "Three six oooh", "Tag Your Man!*" and "Head To Head!". Here's a clip from one of my favorite episodes.



After I got hooked on this show I started looking up videos of people dancing on-line and discover my favorite styles, which are popping and electric boogaloo. I discovered the different nuances in the dancing world like dance crews and I would even do some dancing of my own, by myself and when no one else was watching. Sometimes I would give people a little taste at dances, but they were very small tastes. I am proud to say that I still dance by myself when no one is watching and maybe one day I will unleash.

Here's some examples of popping, electric boogaloo and some other awesome dancing from the best in the world. You might think it's weird and yeha some of it is weird, but it's also incredible that someone can do that with their body.



This last video is pretty long so I don't expect you to watch the whole thing, but when I watch it I'm not completely sure whether this man is human at all.



So yeah another one of my crazy hobbies. Let's groove tonight.

This Is The Place

One fine Spring night I was chatting with a friend past midnight outside of my apartment door and she had to go to the bathroom. She could have run all the way to her own apartment down the hall and around the corner, but why do that when there is a perfectly fine piece of land right outside. She thought about it and after very few words of encouragement and after she told me a story about how she went to the father and sons camp-out until she was twelve and would refuse to use the out-house, she relieved herself and she brought new life to that piece of land. I probably should have taken more pictures because she was maybe twenty-five feet from the road, a road that isn't empty at midnight in a college town, but nonetheless this is the place.
























This same girl once told me that one of our friends had gone into labor a month before the baby was actually due. Then the next day after I had prayed for this girl who had supposedly gone into labor she told me that she had lied.

This same girl ran a marathon and as she ran she listened to pod-casts about people suffering just so she wouldn't feel so bad about running. There was also plenty of nipple chaffing that we saw when we went to see her cross the finish line, blood running down mens sweaty shirts just like Andy on that one episode of The Office. Kind of gross, you'd think they would have prepared for something like that.

She also scored a goal from past midfield that helped our intramural team beat the Mexicans. And now she can be satisfied that I have finally written this post.
