The heat is bringing in a new sort of misery, chaffing. During my half last week I got this long chaffing mark right where my job bra had its stretch band in front. I did not notice it until I was in the shower and almost screamed from the pain. Next, after a 4 mile speed workout I got another chaffing injury where my compression shorts rubbed each other above my knees. Today for my weekly weekend 13 mile run I lathered on Vaseline everywhere I thought I would get a burned, but missed a few inches below my armpits where my arms rubbed against my t-shirt. I will have to do some more reading on how to prevent and ease these injuries that are side affects of long runs. In the meantime, vaseline has been a lifesaver.
