Well, 2018 was an eventful year in my running journey. Started off in February with a slip on ice that landed me in the ER with my first winter running injury. Yet, still managed to top my annual race count with 10: ran a 5k for the first time in five years, ran two 10ks, one 10 miler, and SIX...
Leading up to my first ever half marathon in October of 2016 - the New England Half Marathon, I spent the summer following a training plan of just a little over 4 miles on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a long run on Saturdays which would alternate between 8 to 13.5 miles. For my longs runs I would...
Where to start?? I’ve been actively running for 5 years and began as a way to recover from completely tearing my Left ACL in July 2012. Towards the end of the recovery process, my doctor told me that I could go out and run if I so chose to. Why on earth would someone want to run for the heck of...
Our ambassadors are always on the move. They inspire us to keep pushing our minds and bodies to do what we are designed to do - get moving! Here's what they've been up to lately... Keith 'Wildman' Hanson This past Saturday, the Wildman embarked on his 5th annual Badwater Cape Fear...
Hope you enjoyed my first blog entry a few weeks ago. I left you with the story about finishing my first official timed races and how I felt it was time to really think about a half marathon. For me, who not long before had never thought of running 6.2 miles, to now want to do a 13.1 miler; you...
First let me start by saying how happy I am to share my journey of running with you. In order for that we need to skip back to the beginning of 2014. At the age of 39 I decided to live a healthier lifestyle. I never felt I was overweight or unhealthy, but looking back now, I probably was. So I...
Burning River Lead-up Part 3 This is the 3rd and final installment of my lead up to the Burning River 100 in Cleveland, Ohio. I choose not to highlight specific training routines or regimens because nobody wants to hear: “8-10 miles Monday, 12 miles Tuesday, etc.” However, I must say, that I try...
As the lead-up to the Burning River 100 continues, I’m so happy to be partnering with Shoes and Clothes for Kids (SC4K) to raise awareness for child poverty in Cleveland, OH and to collect new socks and underwear for kids! It’s very exciting! Please check them out at www.sc4k.org. With all the...
Training for an ultramarathon is tough. Well, so is an ultramarathon. Both of these points are obvious, yes, but are still worth mentioning. For those of you who don’t know, an ultramarathon is any race longer than 26.2 miles (the marathon distance). There are a few standard ultramarathon race...
5th Annual Harbison 50K – Harbison State Forest, Columbia, SC – January 3rd, 2015. On a day where the sun just refused to come out, the Harbison 50km (31-mile) trail race was wet, misty, muddy, sloppy, rainy and FUN! While people everywhere (and probably some of the racers) were still nursing...
For Concealment:
Choose the NEW Sport+Fashion Full Size (1.25") if your primary use will be for fashion or to help conceal the nips under clothing.
For Endurance Athletics and Nipple Chafing Prevention:
Place a clean penny on one of your bare nipples. Does it cover most of the areola? If so, choose Size Regular (fits most).
The NipEAZE should not be larger than the outside diameter of the areola unless your primary objective is to help conceal your nipples.
Regular – 3/4” – Fits most (about the size of a US Penny)
Extra – 1” – For larger nipples (slightly larger than a US Quarter)
Endurance Athletes and Runners: Why Measure?
For the adhesive to be most effective against moisture & friction, NipEAZE should fit so that it comes in contact with the areola only; not the skin around it. If your measurement is between two sizes, choose the smaller size.
