During that run, I wore short sleeves. \u00a0It was the end of December and the weather was warm enough to wear that! \u00a0I remember thinking that was pretty cool beans stuff!<\/p>\n
I ALSO remember at mile 4 (out of the 20 miles) feeling some chafing on the inside of my arms starting up. \u00a0Knowing you are chafing for 16 miles is a looonnggg way to go. \u00a0Feeling that sandpaper rubbing…it’s dreadful. \u00a0You KNOW you are going to do “the dance” when you take your post run shower. \u00a0You KNOW it is going to hurt like a _______.<\/p>\n
It did. \u00a0It was the worst chafing I have ever had. \u00a0It also helped me remember why I don’t run in short sleeves. \u00a0This is a problem with me! \u00a0The inside of my arms really, really, really don’t like me to run on short sleeves. \u00a0The sleeves chew up my arms and spit them back out. \u00a0I have a pic, but I’ll spare you the visuals. \u00a0Trust me…it wasn’t pretty.<\/p>\n
I had seen a post on Twitter for this stuff called ChafeX. \u00a0I was intrigued! \u00a0I have tried quite a few anti-chafe products but from either sweat and\/or friction, these products failed after 10-ish miles. \u00a0If I didn’t have a very long run, they were just fine. \u00a0I usually have longer runs….I needed to find something before my 50 mile race coming up or it would be B.A.D.<\/p>\n
Finally, I contacted the people at ChafeX. \u00a0They very graciously sent me a complimentary tube of their product to try.<\/p>\n
This stuff rocks!<\/p>\n
I used it for the first time on a 26 miler. \u00a0Came home after that run dog tired. \u00a0All I wanted was a shower. \u00a0As I stood in the shower and realized I wasn’t doing “the dance!” \u00a0I was enjoying the warm water without having to avoid sore spots!<\/p>\n
WIN!!!<\/p>\n
I used it on a few of my shorter but more challenging runs. \u00a0No chafing!<\/p>\n
Last Wednesday, I ran 30 miles. \u00a0Perfect!<\/p>\n
I seriously love this stuff!!!<\/p>\n
So, ChafeX has invited me to be an Ambassador for their product! \u00a0I’m so excited about this!!! \u00a0I am able to offer everybody the opportunity to try this product~the only financial obligation is postage. \u00a0$4.88 \u00a0The product is free! \u00a0They have a no squabbling return policy. \u00a0They aren’t going to fuss with you about a return.<\/p>\n
Good people!<\/p>\n
Here is a link if you’re interested in trying it: \u00a0www.ChafeX.com\/MSH<\/a>\u00a0 OR if you lose this link, simply Google,\u00a0www.ChafeX.com<\/a>\u00a0and in the promo code, use my initials: \u00a0MSH (Melinda Sue Howard).<\/p>\n Now, to Paxton:<\/p>\n Paxton has been at “Reggie’s House” all weekend. \u00a0He has been a lucky dog!<\/p>\n MFH and I went to Jackson, Mississippi, yesterday for the Hamfest and didn’t think it was fair to Paxton to be stuck in the house all day by himself. \u00a0He would need to use the yard at some point in the day and that’s just too long to ask a puppy to “hold it.”<\/p>\n We had a lovely time in Jackson. \u00a0Of course I found an antique radio to add to my collection. \u00a0It’s a pretty one! \u00a0A Zenith model Y-723. \u00a0It was manufactured in 1956.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, I found out if you go to Google Images, “dog likes Nutty Bars,” you will find TONS of pics of Paxton! \u00a0I don’t know whether to be embarrassed or proud. \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n![\"CaAldqNUkAA1LSK\"](\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/CaAldqNUkAA1LSK.jpg\")
