Kristen: I can tell by the pained expression on your face and the position of your hands that you, too, are suffering from jogger's nipple. I've been there. Painful, isn't it? It's the triumvirate of discomfort: Sore, dry, and itchy. And if you don't tend to it, you may end up with cracked and bleeding nips. Yowzers. I feel for you, sweetheart. Nothing irritates me more than waking up at 5 a.m. (I have three clients who need a little punishment before their 9-5 grind), going out for a nice, leisurely jog, and then coming back home with nipples that feel as though they've been hanging out with a sheet of sandpaper.

But, there is good news, Kristen. The condition is preventable. You can apply a touch of petroleum jelly to each nipple before heading off on your run, or you can also stick a little tape to them to keep them from rubbing against your bra. The only other alternative I'm aware of is to simply run topless, a suggestion that I believe many of your fans would encourage.

Hang in there, darling.
