Blisters Begone!

I know I have been complaining a lot about blisters, so I wanted to share what my feet have been through over the last couple of weeks. Here are all the different pairs of shoes I have tried at some point during our training. In the front are my recent blister prevention products. Just FYI, gauze and hospital tape do NOT help, this was a bad idea on my part. Don't do it :)


My feet/blisters a week after our 20 mile run. Sorry for the graphic photo but marathon training isn't pretty people! I cannot wait to get a pedicure after the race. I am happy to report that my 3rd pair of shoes (Brooks Adrenaline women's 10 medium width) are becoming my new favorites. Katie and I ran 12 miles today and my feet were blister free which feels amazing! Ahhhhhhhh!


Run Highs: SUNNY, no rain, fall colors, rocking out to music and breaking the 10 minute mile barrier for the first time in our training!
Run Lows: The first six miles, getting run off the trail by bicyclists
Post Run Food: Gatorade, cheese and bananas at Katie's. No meatball sub but pretty darn good!
