Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

Ran the usual route with the exception of a few streets. Felt a bit burned out this morning,  "do I really have to get up and run again??" Once I was out there I was fine, Stacie took off and I turned on my music and just ran a mellow run. The sides of my big toes are hurting so badly and I don't know what to do about it. They are giant calluses with what looks like blisters deep inside of them but when I stick a pin in them nothing drains. They are red around the edges almost like an infection. It have to lay a certain way in bed so that they don't touch the mattress and rub or it hurts. I put on neosporin last night and a band aid, it didn't really do anything. I guess it's good I'm not running again until Saturday. I  wonder if I should try filing them down a bit, but they are so sensitive to touch that I'm afraid to.

Ugh! I am so sorry about the blisters. Hopefully some wise runner here will have some good advice. Good job getting out and running this morning with that pain to deal with.

Hey, I'm not a wise runner, but I have what sounds like the exact same thing! I hate the way they look as bad as how they feel! A couple weeks ago they were so sensitive I thought I needed to file them down but I know that can hurt too. So I had some foot soak stuff that I used to soak my feet in for a while and then I filed them while I was soaking them. It didn't hurt to file and it felt much better the next day. They are still feeling much better. I don't know if that would work for you or not, but maybe.

Kim, thank you! I just went down to Wasatch running to ask them and show them my gross feet, and the guy there said to file them 1/2 way down. He said that are so thick right now {gross I know} that they are rubbing my shoe and shouldn't be. He suggested I get some new socks which I was planning on doing anyway and then he gave some blister powder that you throw in the end of your sock before a long run. He just gave me a couple of samples to see which will work best for me since everyone is different. He said his max is 8 miles and then he uses the powder, his wife's is around 12 or 13 before she uses it. But he said that helps the pain of the calluses also and will help alleviate blisters forming on the calluses. I'm happy to hear you say that filing them helped you. I was worried about that, but I think it will help. Thank you for your comment. It is so nice to get feedback.
