Today is just a walk day, to recover from the long run day that is Saturday. I was pretty wiped out yesterday, but in a good way.
But now we have the latest issue to deal with on this journey...chafing. I'll spare you all the details, but lets just say that certain body parts are doing a little dance with other parts in a way they haven't done in a long time. And the result is not comfortable. So now I find myself researching running underwear (for big guys). Its funny, every search I have been doing for the past week and a half is always "something for big guys", like running shoes for big guys, running for big guys, exercise for big guys...etc.
Good news received yesterday was that my 2-pack-a-day, 10 year older brother seems to have been inspired by my message and has vowed to get on the program and run in the Long Island Half Marathon with me in May. I look forward to sharing the journey with him, and hopefully this will get him to kick the habit once and for all!
