I recently took up running, with encouragement from T. And to make it known just how serious I was, I turned in my 6 year old running shoes and bought fancy new ones. I mean, PEOPLE - I had a running specialist look at my stride, just to make sure I was making a worthwhile investment!
Since then, I have been running 3-4 times a week. I still hate it, but overall I do actually feel better for tormenting myself. Which is why, when I suspected I was getting shin splints from too much running, I got really annoyed. But I decided to hold off on the running thing for a while.
Fast forward to today. 80 degrees, not a cloud in the sky.
No matter, I said. A, henceforth to be known as X, had finally mailed me the last of my belongings, including a pair of rollerblades. Instead of letting my aching shins get the best of me, I decided to partake of some good old fashioned low-impact exercise - and perhaps even get a semblance of a tan.
Now, I would normally refrain from putting any degree of nudity on this site, but the debacle that ensued is too good to keep to myself:
Seriously, the exercise gods must have something against me.

WOW that is some scratch. were you wearing frickin pants?
unfortunately, no - running shorts.
Heather, how many times have I warned you about rollerblading naked? It hurts you and everyone around you. No but seriously-that looks nearly as bad as your Tufts era hematoma! :(
i've recently taken up running again as well, and consider me forewarned. no rollerblading in short shorts here!

Ouch! I don't have any observable wounds, but my whole body aches from the step class I went to two days ago. A pox on exercising I say!
