I wish he would get on with it - for your sake AND mine - I think I have tomorrow morning as my guess....does it count as your timezone or mine? hmmmmm

D001 - 2010-11-10 5:27 PM No no no. When was the last time you went to a PRODUCTIVE meeting? Leave your schedule as is. Althought......... If you got there at 9:00, but missed the announcement at 5:00, then maybe I DO need to move to Slackerville, 'cause those sound like pretty good hours.....

Keeping it alive.

pdbman - 2010-11-11 12:27 PM The announcement was at 5am for a meeting at 8am.

How is that new job going? 

pdbman - 2010-11-10 11:29 AM
Give it up completely and you'll be amazed how much better you feel. I know, that's a lot to ask, but I promise it's worth it.

On the floor in a public place? Really? I've slept at a desk or table at the library but never the floor. Can't even image that. Too dirty.

I had another Coke free day yesterday... so that's 3...

DON'T READ BELOW IF SENSITIVE OR EATING

I have a run scheduled for today, but the skin on my feet is falling apart. Oh, it's sooo gross. I took a picture and won't post it on this thread because some people will definitely get upset. I was thinking of posting it with a warning in the injury thread... but still fear trouble from mods. Not sure what the rules are.

Here's the problem - I get the blisters, as previously discussed. The friction that causes them usually moves in one direction which releases a couple layers of skin and pushes it to the side of the irritated area - think a big irritated circle with a little extra skin pushed over. Sometimes there is so much pulling that the non skin build up side rips... OUCH and gross. I have the worst one I've had so far, from only a 4km run, but might have been started during my recent 10km. There's quite a bit or raw skin exposed and I'm concerned about my next run - supposed to be today! And I have another 10km on the weekend.

Does anyone else have super soft skin? I think that's my problem. I beat my feet up over and over but the skin just never toughens up. Oh - and I use body glide too! It works wonders at not letting the blisters bubble up and normally keeps the area from tearing.

Some people have suggested new socks, but I wonder if it will help me. I will have to try because I don't want to stop running!

Moleskin. Second Skin. Protect the raw areas and not just with Body Glide.

Post the pics. I Posted Pics of the underside of my breast when it got sliced by a sports bra, and of giant foot blisters, and of the deep gashes I got in my foot that I ran Oceanside 70.3 in.

Hey. There's a 9-page thread in TT about crapping your pants, so, trust me, you're fine on the pics and we/people can help.

What kind of socks you running in, and at least tell us where the blisters are?

Shermbelle - 2010-11-10 11:35 PM Thanks for the spreadsheet bump, hate having to go back to look for them

Shermbelle - 2010-11-11 12:38 AM Spreadsheet updated, there is like 40 days in this month right? If so I think I am close to being on pace

Here's the pic

It's on the inner side of my foot and slightly underneith.

QueenZipp - 2010-11-11 11:12 AM I got my swim in today.  As soon as I got to work I had to leave to pick up my daughter.  She had another asthma attack at school and was wheezing [retty bad.  We spent the morning in the ER.....SHe's okay now.

rnihill - 2010-11-11 9:53 AM Finally got some exercise in yesterday!!! 

When I was done, I calculated that due to my recent laziness I now have to jump rope for 5 minutes EVERY day for the rest of the month to meet my goal.  Which would be ok if I didn't trip over the darn thing every 5 jumps!
