Boobs, Blisters, Black Toenails

The glorious female form is not particularly well designed for, to use the technical term, jiggling. Running involves a great deal of jiggling. As of yet, no one has found a way to detach their boobs and leave them at home during a run, BUT there have been advances in boob cages; another technical term here; sports bras.  Ladies if you have anything bigger than a B - invest in a good boob cage!  I could bore you with my "Bloody Boobage" story of Niagara Falls International 1/2 marathon 2014, but the girls scarred for life and still a little bitter. 

badges of courage.

I'm also going to spare you the pictures of broken toe, black toes nails and bloody sneakers but I can assure you a career as a foot model is not in my future :(

(If you need a boob cage check out the Enel Bra I love it)

  1. You had me at boobs...
    I prefer them uncaged though.
    Bloody sneakers? You are a serious runner.

  2. I don't run....my boobs are just way too big for that nonsense, even with a sports bra cage. 42 DD if you please. lol Sorry about your foot though.

  4. I don't run! Your talk of blackened toenails and jiggling boobs make me happy that I've made the right choice ;)

  5. Doesn't sound very pleasant. Remind me again why it is you do this to yourself?

  6. Oh I know what you mean as the ta-ta's actually hurt when one runs...not that I have run in years. I have a friend who has done this marathon and know all about bloody feet and blackened toe nails

  7. Love the image of leaving ones boobs at home. Actually, I could. I had a double mastectomy 14 years ago and no reconstruction. I wear a mastectomy bra when out in public, so if I did run (which I don't), I could leave it at home.

  8. I just came from two hours of taekwon-do - jumping, bouncing, kicking, running, and punching. I can completely identify with wanting to leave my boobs at home.

    My sport also leaves me with B for Bruises, which are normally a bad thing but totally a badge of honour when you've sparred.

  10. The best sports bra I ever had was Swedish. Wish I could get another one - cost a fortune, though!
