I enjoy working out. I do pilates and yoga, I run, kickbox, and bicycle. I've had shin splints, bruises, cuts and scratches, and I'm recovering from a recent rotator cuff injury. But today I discovered the strangest exercise-related malady in the history of ever. I have somehow worn small abrasions bilaterally over my sternoclavicular joints.
In other words, I've chafed my collarbone.
I've been running more in the past week or so, in honor of both the delightful spring weather and the impending swimsuit season. I've been wearing long-sleeved cotton tees, because it's still chilly in the morning. Apparently the texture of the material is coarse enough to chafe. I'd like to think it's happening because I'm so svelte that my collarbone is prominent and prone to such injuries. Probably not, though. I imagine it's related to the fact that I'm running both longer and more frequently.
(A girl can dream, can't she?)
Anyhow, tomorrow I'll don a tank top with a lower neckline before hitting the pavement.

Quite an injury--you should call a wahmbulance. (Luis taught me that one. Blame him.)
I'm really tardy with my comment, but just can't resist. I've always contended that fitness-related is a phrase that should always be associated with "injury." :-) No, I just want you to know how impressed I am by your use of proper anatomical terms. You absolutely rock!
