Running

[cjsmith]

Oh, yeah: Four miles this morning. Four seems to be the point at which my bra rips skin off my ribcage. Three doesn't do it (although I have odd itches there throughout the day, probably little micro-healing of micro-owies) but four certainly does it.

I'd been hoping to toughen the skin there. Maybe three a day for several weeks.

Have you tried putting moleskin under where the bra chaffes? That might help.

Yes. Surgical tape, actually - on me that seems to have less tendency to bunch up and roll itself off the skin than moleskin does, when constantly rubbed back and forth. It's a good stopgap solution. Still, either moleskin or surgical tape accelerates the damage to the garment, and besides, some day I'd like to be able to run without having to rip tape off sensitive skin afterwards. So I'm exploring the envelope.
