running, health & inspiration
Other than a toothache, blisters must rank near the top of the most painful minor annoyances. If you are on your feet often for your job, or if you are an active athlete, blisters make the simplest action painful. Learning to prevent foot blisters when playing sports keeps you on the playing field instead of struggling on the sidelines.
A few weeks ago, on a early Sunday morning training run I had a close call, a very close call. We all know it is safest to run in the daylight, but with 10+ miles on the training plan, sometimes there just isn’t enough time in the day. On this particular Sunday morning I knew I needed to run 14 miles. I had carefully planned a 7 mile out and back course. Throughout the run I felt great. At mile 10 I was still feeling great, that is until my close encounter.
