The past couple times that i've run i've felt some chafing on my upper thighs. I know that i haven't been striding out as much as i did years ago, mostly because i can't go as fast as i could years ago. Since i weigh more than i used to, i think my thighs must rub together a little (methinks, i didn't pay that much attention to it). Any ideas or solutions? I'm not really enjoying it and i like to run in shorts similar to the racing shorts from cross country (they have a neat little pouch for my apartment key).

I was considering covering myself with vaseline from head to toe, but i was worried that might be impractical

Vaseline = poor man's body glide
I have to use it on runs over 7 mi. or I have to walk like a cowboy the next day.

I third or fourth the Bodyglide suggestion. It is not as messy as vasoline and container last a fairly long time.

It's not my thighs so much as my nipples! Breast-feeding women everywhere forever have my sympathy. I've been using those "Spots" Band-Aids. Would Bodyglide help in that area also?

Yup. Bodyglide or Vaseline. Works like a charm.
Also, fo inner thigh chafing, try this stuff:
I think its real use is for cleaning up baby poo, but I can vouche for its effectiveness in the anti-chafing area. Especially in the summer months.

OK - I don't really Poo in my pants when I run. That was just a little self-defecating humor for fubbiness purposes.
But I have been informed that Desitin also acts a sunscreen and doesn't evaporate as easily as other products.
Considering where I apply it, I can't back it up from experience.
But Desitin = sunscreen, anti-chafing, and baby poo cleaner.

I probably spend too much time yapping at the fitness center after a run or when I run from work, I walk right through the offices to the shower, so I wear different running clothes everyday. After one run, I find that adding another on top makes the funk too much. I think I'm at 4 longsleeve coolmaxes..laundry 2x a week. And I've got a half dozen pair of tights. My jackets do seem to make it 2-3 runs before funkin' out. The windpants..maybe 2. And yep, the windpants are the swish-swish kind. There are some "whisper" models out there, believe it or not. In fact, I got a close out pair last spring I've had in my drawer all summer, just waitin' to bust out.
