So this week I got it into my head that I wanted to do more miles than my training plan called for and then, on top of that I decided to hit some trails yesterday. Those trails were frozen solid and apparently every mountain bike rider in Carrollton had hit those trails while they were muddy. You know where I am going with this. The trails frozen into peaks and dang were they tough to navigate. My feet took a beating. I finished up my 20+ miles and got in another 7+ last night but by this morning my blisters hurt. If I were even partially sane this might have made me skip my 30 mile run today but alas it only made me think: Yippee perfect opportunity to try out duct tape on the toes. So I popped the few blisters I could. For some reason the ones under big callouses were too hard to get to. Any who, I popped the ones I could and then put some goop on the blisters and duct taped the toes. Now I think this would have worked great but, somehow with the goop on the duct tape didn't stick well so, next time going to use bigger pieces and make sure duct tape is overlapping duct tape on the top of the toe. Right now my toes don't feel so hot but ehhhhh who cares, got 58 miles in the last 48hrs so I am happy as a clam. Going to take tomorrow off. Happy Running all. I am actually beginning to like this cold weather running.
