London Marathon - No problem!.........I'll just blog it. by RichEvans

25/03/09 Completed a 13.16 mile run in 1 hour, 53 minutes and 29 seconds

Ever since I started running I’ve found the one thing that unites the running and non-running communities is jogger’s nipple. It is the one area that everyone can have a good giggle about.

In the past I’d never really experienced the phenomenon, but I am delighted to say I have now officially joined the club. Following the completion of today’s run; I looked down to see two red patches of pure pride.

I’ve often thought that I was immune, and consequently no long distance runner would ever take me seriously. You know how it goes; you’re in a conversation with other runners and it comes round to running. They all share their embarrassing story about time they suffered its effects, and I’m forced to nod along knowingly, ‘Tell me about it – it happens all the time’, I lie. But now I’m one of them. I’ve ran far enough, hard enough, and often enough, to warrant another place to smear Vaseline.

This is all wonderful news, but I’m not looking forward to the lesser known running ailment – Joggers Knob.
