Fat Chick Wogging Chapter 2

Running is so dumb. I am on week 8 of being a wogger and I still hate it.

When does the "runner's high" come?
When do I get in the "zone"?
When do I have to start taping down my nipples? (I totally heard that was a thing)

Last week - I took a DR recommended break. The DR recommended 3-4 weeks of decreased activity. I took a week. I'm hardcore like that. But my body hates me now.

I ran without shoes on Wednesday. My husband is dumb and knocked one of my shoes out of my bag so I made it to work with 1 shoe.

Sheila is a bitch and was all "just try it. wear 2 pairs of socks - same thing."

Except it's not the same thing. And I got a blister. Do NOT google images of toe blisters. *shudders*

So my real toe blister because google was disgusting.




You are welcome. I'm surprised that I can walk.


I've also decided to become a wine drinker.

Coincidence?

2 pairs of socks were better than NO SOCKS at all! Right?!

Ugh - they do say running in your barefeet is the best way to do it. Not that I'd know...I'm not a runner.

I didn't know that nipple chaffing was a real thing until I started reading this one particular running blog to which he posted pictures of his bloody nipples after running a marathon. It's an image that will never leave my mind.

::shudders: lol I found them recently at a local sports shop and instantly though WTF?!!!

and lol @ fat chick wogging thats cute. Made me read chapter 1 I loved it! cant wait to buy the book! Have a good day!

Crazy Me said...

TAPING down your nipples??? WHAT??? Now that is a new one for me!!!

And with shin splints...I shudder at the thought of running barefooted!

Now I have to go back and read Chapter 1 because I somehow missed it!

Crazy Me said...

Oh and you just now became a wine drinker??? Where have you been? You have a toddler!!! I thought that was a requirment to having children, the wine is automatically assumed!

Miss Angie said...

Wine is awesome, and if you're running you freaking deserve it! :D

Kate said...

Ouch! I can't imagine running in my bare feet.

You totally need to see that episode of the office where they have a fun run for rabies and Andy starts to bleed from his nipples. It's all kinds of hysterical.

Nichole said...

Poor thing! Hope that it heals quickly!! Taping nipples....yea...I am nursing a 7mo old with two teeth...that hurts enough! Cannot even imagine!!

Katherine said...

Yep....running barefoot is all the rage these days. You're just staying trendy. Think I'll pass.

Wouldn't a nice snug sports bra take care of the nipple thing? I would think. I would hope. Taping does not sound fun.

Stick with it! I think you're awesome.

Beth said...

You've got a good, supporting exercise bra, right?

Zinfandel. Just sayin'.

And you're a rockstar for running, just please take care of yourself..long term knee and foot injuries suuuuuck!

MommyToTwoBoys said...

Ouch! And I always see people running in really cute outfits and want to be a runner too. But then my couch calls me. I'm too stressed and tired to run. But I am proud of you.

J FAM Blog for the Soul said...

I love you every time I read you! I often wonder when the heck the runners high kicks in...still ...nope.....

LOL to the running without shoes...who does that??! Flip flops maybe....but no shoes?? LOL
I hope you feel better soon! Alternate ice and hot and call me in the morning :) Free of charge from vanessasage!

I am sure if you google wine diets, something would come up and then you would have a new plan to follow with no worries of cheating on your diet. My hubby gets blisters all the time when he runs, no matter how many pairs of socks he wears, they have these funky band aides you can buy to cover them up and it helps a little bit!

Janna said...

OMG you are HARDCORE! Do what the doctor says! and drink more wine :)

MiMi said...

I can't wog. For reals.
And? Anything that involves taping nipples CAN NOT BE A GOOD THING.

Melissa said...

hmmmm....taped nippples...I think I saw that in a move once.

I don't get the running thing, either. I was up to 5 miles once, and never got that "runner's high." The whole time all I could think about was how much it sucked. I'd try to fantasize about cute clothes I would be able to wear...but it didn't really work. I guess you could fantasize about taped nipples...?

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Ouch! Taping down your nipples, really? I only thought you had to wear sports bras. Enjoy the wine!

Raven said...

I only run when chased. ;) Taping down your nipples? Why? Am I just dense?

Ouch. I hate blisters.

If I were to take up an alcoholic beverage it would be mango rum with Sprite and orange juice.

That corgi :) said...

that is some wine glass! sorry about the blister (but I did tell you to listen to the doctor's advice.....)

I remember it took several months when I was running (years ago) to really feel good about it; hang in there when it is the right time to do it; give your body a break to heal!

I LOVE me some wine. And taping down your nipples? I have never heard of that. Crazy, what exactly does it do? Make you more wind resistant?

The Lovely One said...

Someone once told me that running barefoot is supposed to be better than running with shoes. Thank you for proving that person wrong!

Steph @ Thoughts From Cali said...

Wine is my friend! You are such a trooper, I would have used the missing shoe as an excuse and headed home.

Impulsive Addict said...

I wish I could have been there for the no shoe running. I wish there was a picture too.

And while I'm wishing, I wish I could share a glass of wine with you!

Kerri said...

i feel ya i have 2 blisters from changing my shoes... bad move

Cerise said...

Ouch! You poor thing. You totally deserve a glass...or two or three of wine after that.

Jenerally Speaking said...

Oh girl, ouch!! It's all worth the pain. ;) I have never heard tapping down the nipples, lol.
