Last fall, right after I ran my first and only 50k, I took a little hiatus from running to heal up.  I tried to start up in November or so, but my feet (shoes ?) weren't ready.  And now, finally I'm just getting back into it.

So here's the thing.  When I ran the 50k, I signed up for a size medium.  The shirt was actually a pretty decent jersey by Salomon.  And it says 50k on it which is all that really matters. But there's something very strange about the fabric :  During the months I didn't wear it, it seems to have grown significantly smaller.  Especially in the mid-section.

What is kind of cool about this is that it rubs me right in the places where I suppose I could stand to lose a little fat.  They always say that there is no way to target specific areas for fat loss.  But "they" are wrong.  It turns out all I need to do is put this jersey on, warm up with some cardio, work up a good sweat, and then run on the treadmill, and the friction of the wet material starts to produce a heat and a chafing in exactly the right areas.  The heat and the chafing seem to be working.  It's kind of gradual, but I really do believe that if I keep wearing that jersey and using it as I've described, it is going to work wonders.

Ah, chafing the fat away.  Sounds... painful.

I wish that worked for women....

It sounds more like you're trying to sand it off.  Use a coarser grit.

Or a sharper blade.  ;-)
