    Hello all! I've never posted in here before cause I haven't run in AGES, but I thought I'd give it a shot again as my workplace is participating in the city-wide Corporate Cup and they needed more runners!

    I hopped on the treadmill at the gym tonight (it's a cold winter's night here in Australia, no running outside for me!) and did 3.8 miles. I was hardly winded after which was very exciting! I can't wait to get back into this with you all!


    Great job!!! Nice start!! Welcome and keep checking in with your progress!!

    I forgot it is winter over there! meanwhile we are melting here in the states!!

    My goal for today is 3 miles. Maybe I'll even get an extra wind and finish the loop for 3.35. I don't run until late in the evening though, so hopefully I can get through it. Yesterday was 2.72, I'm sure I can push out another 1/4 mile!

    You can do it - just keep running!!! sprint if you have to!! Let us know how it goes!!

    It was really humid out there this morning and I was sweating a lot more than normal. I have kind of an embarrassing question. Since it was so hot, things were rubbing that normally don't like my underwear. I hear a lot of people run commando but I don't think I can do it. What do you guys and gals do to avoid the unwanted rub burns?

    I go commando!! try it! - it is very free-ing! just wear the right running gear!! I also use bodyglide on my inner thighs (sorry for the TMI JD! girl talk here!) when wearing my running shorts...

    I hear once you do it once, you never go back to wearing underwear (while running that is) . I guess it's because I only have 1 good pair of dry fit running pants and I don't want to do laundry everyday. lol

    Oh! BTW! I got my 3.5 in this am - and as you may or may not know - I am NOT a morning runner so this was a big deal for me!

    Got strength training and 4 miles tonight.

    Yea, it helps to have a couple of pairs of good shorts/capris ( I way prefer the capris!) during the summer....I also have three of four pairs of cheap bike shorts that I wear under my running shorts and that helps too. I am too self conscious to wear just the bike shorts even tho I see lots of women in them....just not ready yet!

    I hate when I go running in my big-girl panties. Gotta hitch them up the entire way. :laugh:

    Wonder if there's a market for panties w/suspenders???? y_thinking.gif

    OMG!!! Again, we are truly sisters!! All my undies are way to big for me and they are definitely the reason for all the "burns". lol (I really laughed out loud!!)
    I couldn't open the picture but wouldn't the suspenders and big panties be a cute way to seduce your hubby? :laugh:

    the best running shorts with a liner (and zippered pocket) are from rei. they don't chafe and are incredible. i have tried many pairs over the years and i think these are the bomb! also like someone mentioned the body glide is a must...............inner thighs and especially around the bra line! i did 8 sunday and an easy 3 this morning.

    Yeow! I miss the interweb :tongue: I've been computer-less for the past few days because of moving. But i have not been running-less!

    I have a running partner! One of my friends agreed to start running with me in the mornings! We've done this for the past 2 days and it's been awesome to have someone around to pep things up. We're doing a 5 k route for now and then we're going to go from there.

    Today I was leading and set a fairly fast pace for the first 4 k, but then started to fade in the last k. Suddenly she like BOLTED and i had to catch up :sad: ! It was actually really amazing though - running partners are the world's best kept secret.

    Good morning ladies!

    Way to go on your runs!!
    I got out for 4.45 miles this morning. I feel so good cuz I haven't run since Friday!!! I love the feeling you get after your run, especially after you've showered. I'm so ready for they day.

    It was really humid out there this morning and I was sweating a lot more than normal. I have kind of an embarrassing question. Since it was so hot, things were rubbing that normally don't like my underwear. I hear a lot of people run commando but I don't think I can do it.

    Me too Tricia! Wouldn't have it any other way. I am SO comfortable. I would recommend at least trying it b/c I ended up trying it by accident (a great story I'll have to share over a glass of wine someday) :embarassed: and have been hooked ever since.

    This is a great conversation - something all of us runners have to deal with yet nobody ever brings it up. :) I always wear spandex shorts when I run to avoid my inner thighs rubbing. Under Armour makes great spandex that does NOT make it's way up the crotch (like more shorts too). I will have to try body gilde, though, because spandex isn't always the coolest thing to run in!

    As for running commando ... do y'all wear the little running shorts with the liners in it????
