NSFL: Ultrarunner Forgets To Put On Sunscreen And Her Legs Are DISGUSTING
(Source) — Julie Nisbet, a 34-year-old mother of two, ran 21 hours from coast-to-coast across England along Hadrian’s Wall. The sunburn on her calves developed small sacs of pus, causing her to screech in pain and seek hospital treatment, according to the Daily Mail. But they only grew larger, taking up a significant portion of her legs. A week later, she’s still in agony.
I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest sunscreen guy in the entire world. It’s born of part faux-masculinity, part laziness, part stupidity, and part I don’t do “planning” so I always get to the beach and think “Oh fuck, I forgot sunscreen.” Honestly, I usually make out just fine but that’s because I’m not a running idiot. I hang out at the beach for a few beers then go home and take a hot shower to burn off the sunburn (that works, ask science). But if you’re gonna run for 69 miles over 21 hours then you should probably lather up. OR… and hear me out on this… you can just not run 69 miles, not get tired, not get sunburned, and just be a normal fucking human who does normal human stuff. That’s my best advice: don’t do asshole shit and god won’t take the sun and a magnifying glass to you like you’re a piece of shit ant.
Wear sunscreen, folks…
