Maybe it's time for a new armband?Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527827359630897863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310793515657225345.post-35380563530584723372010-11-10T04:36:14.664-06:002010-11-10T04:36:14.664-06:00I agree with this list, especially with the Gu.

There doesn't seem to be much recourse, here.<br />Concerning the water bottles, though, I've actually turned them into a psychological advantage. I have two and use both, even when I only really need one, to keep both sides balanced. Otherwise, my stride and arm swing can be off. I take them on almost every long run and thing about how much easier the run will seem when I don't have the water bottles with me. That and how awesome my arm muscles will be. The second still hasn't happened but I do think that it helps to think about the bottles as a training strategy.sassafrassslshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524270652558000844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310793515657225345.post-26776149100087279992010-11-09T21:24:42.779-06:002010-11-09T21:24:42.779-06:00bahahaha!!

And when I blister enough, it turns into callouses- not attractive!<br />2. Exercise Induced Asthma- I have this and I really hate having to use an inhaler before I run- it tastes gross and makes me jittery. But if I forget it, I'm doomed to cough and wheeze like crazy the second I stop running. <br />3. Falling down- I eat dirt on the trail around Audubon at least once a year. So embarrassing and painful!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408929681739560085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310793515657225345.post-62369214845882245262010-11-08T20:24:59.238-06:002010-11-08T20:24:59.238-06:00Maybe my arm band doesn't last as long, but I ...Maybe my arm band doesn't last as long, but I wash it periodically cause I can't stand the stink!

I was beginning to feel as though I was the only one in blog-world who had things I didn't like about running. Mostly everyone paints such a happy picture about it. <br /><br />Have you tried shot bloks? I REALLY like them - especially the black cherry and tropical punch flavors. They are chewable like a tougher version of a gummy bear. I've never tried gu - mostly for the exact visual you painted -vasoline! Sounds so delicious!<br /><br />Hope your tomorrow is better!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310793515657225345.post-60434104704093567642010-11-08T19:20:51.610-06:002010-11-08T19:20:51.610-06:00mmmm the stealth chafe, i'm familiar. good tim...mmmm the stealth chafe, i'm familiar. good times. good good times. and i live in kansas, so snot is a constant issue from november until april. also good times.Being Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313501742081164175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310793515657225345.post-40092530880369256222010-11-08T18:22:45.654-06:002010-11-08T18:22:45.654-06:00Ahh the stealth sports bra chafe is my favorite. ...Ahh the stealth sports bra chafe is my favorite.

That way, when I pass there again, I can refill my hydration belt or just drink the bottled water. =)Julie @ HotlegsRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597423212013508187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310793515657225345.post-57078166539844575172010-11-08T17:24:19.084-06:002010-11-08T17:24:19.084-06:00haha loved the post!

But every now and then I say "what is that stink?" then figure out that its me.<br /><br />The chafing is aweful! I forgot my glide on a long run & wanted to die, and the other day my HR strap gave me a nice hole in my ribcage.<br /><br />The snots are gross but true. I couldnt make it stop yesterday!Stephanie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621294686551962135noreply@blogger.com
