Subject: RE: I challenge YOU in August!bswcpa - 2012-08-13 8:01 PM Ohhh, Judi, that sounds really painful. Ugh, I'm sorry. Are you running in new shoes or is this an ongoing problem you have? Have you tried blister bandades or are your blisters too big for them? You're still killing on the challenge. Good job training through the pain! I am rotating through 4 different styles of Brooks shoes. I have had the Dyads longest (last December ) but stopped wearing them for a while so they really don't have a lot of miles on them. The Launch, which I started wearing in March and would pretty much be the only shoe I wear if Brooks weren't going to discontinue them. Pure Flow and Ghost 5 which I got last month. I have another pair of the Launch that I ordered with the Pure/ Ghost but haven't taken out of the box yet since I have so many to rotate with. I was fine until 3 weeks or so ago when I did a brick and wore regular bike socks instead of my usual smart wool run sock. Since then, between the heat and super sweaty feet and volume on this half mary plan my feet look NASTY. Moleskin helps a little, I have to cut the stuff into strips that go the length of my big toe for it to stick. I think the locations (side of big toe starting near the nail bed ) make the traditional bandaid for blisters ineffective cause the placement would be so odd. I think they are worse when I wear the ghost, but I think that might be lessened with double socks and that shoe. Double socks didn't help the launch much, just made me feel like the shoes were too tight. |
