That means my next really big birthday bash is going to be my 40th, and that is scary for some reason. Can't escape having to grow up now I guess.
So, I'm going out for a slap up meal with some friends to celebrate tonight.
But of course, before that, I will be doing four 8 minute bursts with 3 mins recovery, as per The Plan, which cares not a bit about my birthday.
Did 45 mins last night, felt remarkably fresh considering my effort on Sunday, so that was a good sign. Looking ahead to a three hour training run on Sunday, that could hurt.
By the way, anybody got any tips for nipple protection? I know this sounds a bit disgusting, but it's all part of it. I slapped on what I thought was a goodly amount of Vaseline onto my upper torso including nipples on Sunday, and still they got scracthed and bled. Sorry, sounds horrible I know.
So I just don't know what to do about it, any good products out there?
Happy birthday to me.

Small, round plasters. Seriously. They can be a mild pain to get off afterwards, but it's nothing like the pain of not using 'em.
Or try Lanacane instead of Vaseline. Much slidier, and seems to work better.
Thanks for the tip. I assumed plasters might slip off, maybe i'll stick a load on and see how it works.
Happy birthday - look forward to celebratory G&T or three with you in person at the work do in a couple of weeks!
Happily, I've never had nipple trouble - seems to be more of a male affliction - so can't help you on that one. Plasters sound like the way forward.
No, I definitely find the only problem is that they can stick _too_ well. And I'm probably giving them more of a challenge than you, because I'm still 17 stone!
As for nipple trouble being more of a male affliction, that's probably because the proper solution would be a sports bra, but that's a rather more appealing solution for women than for men :)
