I will buy running shoes at [censored] Pond.

That's the gayest sounding store I ever heard of.

Could not agree more!

Now, can you please tell me, why do they give vaseline to running
marathoners?

It's for lubrication.

For me, it was the chafing on the thigh with the running shorts.

Spandex shorts also work well, but you would probably want to
train in them before wearing them on a long run. (I wear them
under shorts for modesty.)

Chaffed nipples, on the other hand....

I use bodyglide for long runs. I usually put some on my nipples and inner
thighs. Two layers of shorts is a bit much for me in summer.

I've started using bodyglide on my longest runs, but so far
chaffing only seems to be a problem when it's raining.

The extra shorts don't bother me, but I've been a believer in them
since the late 80s when I discovered that wearing the shorts under
my TKD uniform made it much easier to do kicks - the fabric wasn't
catching on my ursine pelt. I'll also wear them when hiking or if
I'm expecting to walk a considerable distance.

I had chaffed nipples also... It was quite irritating.

If its above 50 degrees, and I'm sweating, I find it better to run without a
shirt.

Did you think I made this stuff up?

You probably know this now, but all this should have been worked out
during your long training runs. Besides the physiological benefits of
long runs, there are certain things that just won't be an issue until
you've gone over a certain distance.

Things like: Shoes - causing blisters, too lose, too tight, laces
coming undone
Chafing - groin, nipples, armpits Clothing - too hot,

I did not think so, you posted a good list... In fact, I took
particular effort to tighten the laces, so that they would not hinder
my running, due to having read that post of yours. Thank you.

OK. Just checking. ;-)
