Monday Motivation: The Nipple Chafe

In celebration of the past weekend’s New York City Marathon, this Monday’s motivation reveals the bloody price paid for a glorious marathon finish, a.k.a The Nipple Chafe. For some, nipple chafing is inevitable even when band-aid/vaseline precautionary measures are taken. However, nothing screams motivation like a bloody nipple…or two. If you plan on running a marathon, check out these guys first. They really sweat, bled and possibly wept (because of all that bleeding) for 26.2 miles.

Ouch.

Totally worth it.

Bled so much, the shirt is now a different color.

Regret.

Still worth all the pain.

The solution: cut holes in the shirt around your nipples.

And if cutting nipple holes in your shirt isn’t an option, then slap on a couple of Band-Aids and pray for a chafe-free run!
