Day 2,825: Bloody nipples!

So I went on my 9-mile tempo run today and when I was cooling off in the driveway, I noticed something different about my sweat-stained shirt.

There were faint blotches on my chest. When I took a shower, sure enough, I discovered I had one of running's oddest maladies -- two bloody nipples.

I'm only writing about this because I think it's the only time in training that it's ever happened. I think it only happened once in a race, the 2010 ING Georgia Marathon. That time I only suffered one.

I blame it on the silk screen on my technical T-shirt. I'll have to be a little more wary in the future.

Time: 8:15 a.m.
Temp: 66 degrees
Gear: Technical T-shirt (Doug Kessler 10K), shorts, Saucony Kinvara 5.
