1. i found a new chafing spot on sunday after my run...the insides of my knees. didn't think much of it. then yesterday while doing my intervals on the treadmill...i noticed the knees rubbing together. have my massive thighs finally thinned out enough that they no longer rub...and now the rubbing has moved down to my knees??
2. wore my new cute compression socks this morning for a test run, and i'm happy to report they are OSOM!
3. trying to be extra careful with my diet. making sure not to eat junk, but give my body only healthy fuel that it loves :)
