Did I ever tell you that your a nut **Autolycus**. Cause if I haven’t I am now. Your a nut. ---

He may well be a nut but he’s got talent. Plus far to much time on his hands ---

[QUOTE=msmith537] I disagree. Granted I’m woefully out of shape, but it feels like having my ass kicked for 3.5 miles. [/QUOTE] I didn’t say it feels awesome to run it - but to be able to run it. Especially when you know that last week you couldn’t do it. ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] I say he should get ones with tassles! That’ll make the run more entertaining. [/QUOTE] I wonder if learning how to spin them in opposite directions would count as a cardio workout? ---

[QUOTE=Inigo Montoya] What the…OK, I gotta call BS on this. It’s one thing for something common like stress incontinence & miscarriage to be thought to have a lower incidence than actual, but those are “hidden” maladies. But bloody nipples? [/QUOTE] I can’t comment on how prevalent it might be as a general case. Having said that, it was something I had to deal with often while I was running. The worst was after a 10K race I’d been in. Just another data point for you, **Inigo**. ---

[QUOTE=Arien] I’m doing this [couch to 5k program](http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml) so in 5 weeks I could be the one writing the OP. [/QUOTE] That’s a great program! I did this about three years ago. Now, I run about 30 miles a week on average. In fact, I’m doing a 10 mile race this Sunday morning. ---

Would you believe, the last time I checked this thread, I somehow totally missed **Autolycus** ’s song? It’s like three screens long! How the hell did that happen? That was awesome, **Auto**! Thanks! ---

[QUOTE=Inigo Montoya] Only if he’s got 3 nipples…or am I not doing the math right? [/QUOTE] The Proclaimers sang about 500 miles, not 500 nipples. ---

I don’t get nipple chaff - I get chaffing on my sternum. That stuff is dangerous - I’d imagine it doesn’t hurt as badly as nipple chaffing, so half the time I don’t notice it’s happened (I think it’s related to my sport’s bra choice). Which makes getting into the shower occasionally…very invigorating. Yay for hot water + raw skin. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/three-miles-three-miles/407087.md?page=2)
