One long run in hot weather + a sleeveless running top = a wicked case of pit burn.
Pit burn is my term for heat rash under the armpits. Don't worry, I won't post pictures. It lasts for days, and while it's certainly not the worst pain in the world, that hasn't stopped me from complaining incessantly and showing my armpits to anyone who will look (and even a few people who won't).
Luckily for the viewing public, I've been on vacation this week, so there haven't been a lot of opportunities to flash my pits. This year we are `stay-cationing` -- just hanging around, doing stuff locally, taking short trips and remembering how much our kitchen reno cost. The stay-cation has been great for my running routine. Tomorrow, The Runner I Married and I will run a 5K race. While I'm not fool-hardy enough to set 25 minutes as my goal, I'm definitely aiming to break 26 minutes. We'll see.
