Saved by my new PADDED Interawear

[MajorDave]

If you are financially challenged like me you can get a pair of football thigh pads (I coach HS football so they were free for me) and slide them into the regular tights or compression shorts you wear. I took two in the inner thigh yesterday due to sucky (is that a word?) catchers and didn't feel a thing. It was 80 degrees and no noticeable extra heat. I wear Honig's plate pants so no one even notices the thigh pads-or if they do, no one says anything like wuss or stuff like that. Both catchers thought I would be hurt or complaining and I didn't even make a sound. Nor did I tell them about the thigh pads. Just a suggestion. And for those of you who think Wuss/Puss or other derogatory comments, I don't care. I just got back into shape after a bad health episode and I don't want to derail my cardio workouts due to deep thigh bruising. My walks are the keys to my newfound physical and mental health.
