Cool Temps, a New Route…and Nipple Band-Aids?
All BackBlasts BackblastsOctober 23rd, 2019
Five graced The Gloom this morning at the much-beloved Highlands AO, greeted by cooler temps and dry air. Apparently only one of us bothered to check the weather and don long-sleeves.
A quick disclaimer and route description was given, though since this was a new route YHC promised to make sure no one got lost. Once that was clear away we went.

- As the title indicates, there were conversations about the best nipple coverings for long runs. Why? @brinkley noted that YHC and @barrister were both wearing Lululemon brand shirts this morning, which led YHC to give his Lululemon testimonial: on a recent CLT Marathon training run of 17 miles, the Band-Aids that YHC uses to prevent chafing fell off midway through. Despite this, no chafing occurred. What followed was a brief discussion about which type of said Band-Aids were best for this. The consensus, for the 3 of you still reading, is any kind that are waterproof.
- By the way, the above exchange happened before we were even out of the parking lot, which was nice because it meant YHC had his BB content early on.
- Great run this morning on a new route. Nice and flat (relatively) and the cool Temps didnt disappoint. While @brinkley opted for long sleeves, no one was cold by the end of the run.
- Thanks to @gordo for making a parking lot lap with me to finish with an even 5 miles.
- We still have plenty of spots available for the Highlands Field Day team. Sign up, even if only to volunteer, here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15dMGqnn7iy4SsjzXTwCQ9apscQZrli1M395Y6duXmYs/edit?usp=drivesdk
