Blister Woes

by - Monday, March 24, 2014

Thanks to everyone who suggested possible race ideas based on my last post. I have a quite a list of options going that I'm hoping to narrow down in the next few weeks!

Planning a race calendar is fun and definitely something I've been missing.

Unfortunately though, getting back to regular workouts has been slow.

Remember that giant blister I got at the Shamrock half? Well it pretty much burst open in the middle of last week and has expanded to even more of my toe. No matter what I do to cover it and protect it, it still bothers me.

I was hoping to go on a short run on Friday during my lunch break since the weather was so nice, but the minute I slid my foot into my running shoe, I knew that wasn't going to happen. I could feel the raw skin on my toes rubbing uncomfortably immediately.

On Saturday I thought I'd give my two hours of spinning a go since spin is generally a little bit more gentle on the body than running.

I managed to make it through the class just fine, but by Saturday evening the blister situation was pretty uncomfortable again.

Guess I will just try to keep it wrapped up for now and let it heal. Seems like forcing workouts is just making the situation worse.

  1. If you are still looking for short race options, I am doing the Thundering Hooves 5k for Gentle Giants on April 19. It looks like a pretty course, although hilly.
