Inspired by a podcast of the same name (running is BS) that loves to hate running.
This week I particularly hate running because…
Spring time in upon the northern hemisphere, but that brings about the freaking hoard of hovering flies 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰 at mouth level for easy ingestion.
Whether it is parks, trails, by water bodies, I can’t seem to get away from them and always end up eating a mouthful of tiny flies, or at least up in my nostrils.
The worst was when I held my breath over a few steps thinking I made it through a patch, and gasping my way into another horde and engulfing a mother road after. UGH.
I’m engaged in a 10 year battle against chafing. I finally found shorts I like, but they were manufactured in partnership with my local running store, and they couldn’t justify keeping the program going.
Then I switched to Asics 2 in 1 with built in boxer-briefs. I thought they were perfect but I swear the last 2 pairs I had lasted less than 5 runs before a hole opened up and allowed chafing.
Now I’ve been running in LuLuLemon shorts that are a tad smaller than I’d prefer, but they’ve been completely chafe free and seem to be holding up structurally.
