    @cburke8909 Love the shirt! Can believe you did the tribute to @MobyCarp !

    ETA My husband used cirlge band aids, until he gave in to running shirtless. They make nip gaurds. I've also heard cheap roll on deodorant.

    Question, how do you prevent the irritated bleeding nipples? I have a psoriasis condition that makes me more susceptible to skin issues. So far on my training runs it's only been irritated but today there was definite stream of blood.

    @cburke8909 I HAVE THE ANSWER!

    Okay, well I have what I do. :) Shorter-long-runs - like 15mile or whatever, I apply Body Glide generously and where tech fabrics. That seems to do okay combined with tech fabrics. Stay away from cotton!

    For the marathon, I used high-quality waterproof bandaids and a compression shirt that helped hold the band-aids in place. Some guys will get cotton balls to cover the nipples and then wrap with tape to hold in place. I have a somewhat hairy chest so I try to avoid that much tape. :)

    Thanks @MNLittleFinn ! I'm glad I closed my crazy four week 2 full, 1 half smackdown on a higher note. After they paid me out at the podium my husband insisted I should just run halfs from now on- I wonder why ;) lol

    Congrats!!

    @PastorVincent Looks like you guys had a good time. I love target shooting with my DH and we are just getting son into it. I only shoot handguns but I am trying to talk him into getting another AR but in .22 so we aren't lighting as many dollar bills up when we go LOL and the boy will be more comfortable with it.

    Yeah, now that .22 has fallen back to more sane price that would be fun little plinker.

    There are probably not many days left where my teen will still find me "cool enough" to hang out with. :( I do have one advantage over his friends though. :D They can not take him to destroy paper targets like this :)

    Only downside is purchase $$$ will probably come out of my running and race budget since they are both technically entertainment.

    @JessicaMcB Superb result placing 1AG on your HM race; congrats!

    @cburke8909 For nipple protection, I use NipEaze on my longer runs and have had absolutely no issues. They're practically invisible, and comfortable to the extent that one time I actually forgot that I was wearing them, and ended up with them on for over 24 hours. For shorter runs, I just slap on 2Toms SportShield.

    @kgirlhart Congrats on your distance PR!

    @RespectTheKitty Congrats also on your distance PR!

    6/4-8 miles
    6/6-2 miles
    6/7-5 miles
    6/13-6 miles
    6/18-5 miles
    6/19-7 miles
    6/21-2 miles
    6/22-5 miles
    6/24-9 miles
    Total-49 miles

    Tonight's run was hard, I've been eating mostly plant based lately, but hubby wanted to meet at McDonald's this morning for breakfast, bad idea, my stomach was not happy. I started off really slow and sluggish, at 2 1/2 miles, my stomach cramped, and I could barely walk, so I walked it out for half a mile, finally started feeling better, then ran a slower than average 6 more miles, but easily could have done more, but my kids and hubby were waiting for me.

    Ran 7.25 km instead of 13 due to my left leg hurting. I hope it's nothing.

    On a brighter note, I am now under 200 lbs!! 199.7 lbs haha

    Hey! That is great! Well done!

    @BettyM1017 thanks for the offer you are too nice. I have family right on the same street as mom and a friend is coming over. We will be there until at least Friday.

    As long as it's not just the 2 of you. The task ahead is tough. I'm glad you 'll have family around you!
