Do your nipples hurt? 

If you can answer yes to that question, or if you have chafing in other sensitive areas, this new product may help you.    I received a sample of this from soundRUNNER and being a victim of chafing I wanted to give this a try.  First impressions are very good.  I went for a 2 1/2 hour run today and applied this product before I went and was happy with the results.

After going through two pairs of YakTraxs this winter I decided to try something different and bought some Kahtoola Microspikes. I’d thought about buying them before but had been put off by the manufacturers $59 price tag, but decided that if they last longer than my Traks, the investment would be worth it. In the end I purchased them via Amazon from Altrec.com at a lot less than Kahtoola list them at.

So far I’ve used them 3 or 4 times and been impressed. They look pretty aggressive and you can’t help wondering if you’ll do yourself a nasty injury if you fall wearing them. But, they are easy to put on and off and definitely do a good job of providing traction in a range of conditions

I can speak from experience about the unwelcome effects of using chap stick for mid-race lubrication!

While out for snowy run at The Quarry we got this fun bathtub shot so I figured why not make it an impromptu calendar!! Thanks to the ladies who posed for this one and thanks to The Mayor for taking the shot – maybe we’ll do a bathtub calendar every year.  I just wish more Bimblers were in the photo…. but there is always next year! If you want to order one they are available at http://www.cafepress.com/fromthestudio ! I ordered a few samples and they came out awesome …high quality one page wall calendars are printed on glossy, 12 point postcard stock paper and measure 11″ x 17″.  

Cheers & Bimbleness, Iggy
