Thighs that rub together... part of my DNA

So, my hubbie and I ran together last night. We mapped out a 3 mile loop and headed out from the Y. We ran the first mile, and I was cheered on by Michael to keep running. He's very encouraging of me, which is so awesome, and at certain times I wanted to kick him in the shin and make him let me stop. We walked for another 3/4 mile or so, and then picked up the pace to start running for the last mile. I DID IT!!! So, all tolled, we ran a little over 2 miles together. It felt so good! I'm working my way to being able to run a 5K. I LOVE that we're doing this together!! I'm sure we're going to do it separately too, but doing it together is really nice. I can't wait till the 5K run in June!

So, this part is not for the squeamish. You were warned.

I noticed a couple things yesterday. 1. I sweat a lot in my nether-regions. 2. Sweat is good lubrication for your thighs. I had shorter shorts on than normal and throughout the course of the run/walk I felt the need to pull them down so my thighs would not spontaneously combust. That was, until I got a good sweat going, then it was like my thighs were covered in lube. Sweat is my friend! P.S.- no matter how heavy or thin I have been in my lifetime, my inner thighs have always rubbed together. They are one of those areas on my body that I would circle with a red pen. I do love my body, it constantly amazes me with the things it can do. It's not the same as when I was 17, and guess what? It's not supposed to be.
