What a huge milestone coming out of this challenge.<BR/><BR/>I'm not an experienced runner by any means, but I do know that shoes are critical. If you're going to keep it up, it might be worth investing in a new pair. Not sure if that was the cause of the blisters - but it's a side-note.:-)<BR/><BR/>Keep it up!Marathon Somedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836547330582422280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-54678706316097705912008-05-28T10:00:00.000-05:002008-05-28T10:00:00.000-05:00Good job with staying OP for the day!And fantastic...Good job with staying OP for the day!<BR/>And fantastic job with the run!!!<BR/><BR/>I don't know what to tell you about blister since I'm just an amatuer.

Everyones feet are so different and some shoes run big. You don't have to by them there, but get a fitting. <BR/><BR/>Runner's World has and online little survey that will suggest shoes that will suit your needs based on some questions - then you could go try them on at a store...and buy them online.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003901809816038543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-48361011563980618572008-05-27T18:22:00.000-05:002008-05-27T18:22:00.000-05:00Asics Gel-Luminous.... best damn kicks I've ever o...Asics Gel-Luminous.... best damn kicks I've ever owned!

Also, check out Asic's shoes because they tend to be cheaper than other options. Also, Runner's World online has a lot of good advice about what's all hype and what's actually of value in a running shoe.SeaBreezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00486587826946757928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-21289767525762819302008-05-27T10:25:00.000-05:002008-05-27T10:25:00.000-05:00ARGH!I just left you a long comment and then recei...ARGH!<BR/><BR/>I just left you a long comment and then received an error message when I pressed 'publish'<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo - the gist: congrats on your run.ThickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933349763585424365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-22801242816927063122008-05-27T09:52:00.000-05:002008-05-27T09:52:00.000-05:00Awesome on the running!!

It might just be because you just ran (!) and your body isn't used to it. I still get blisters, your feet just sometimes have to toughen up a bit. Or use non-cotton socks. The arch thing is probably like an overuse injury kind of thing. They say you aren't supposed to increase your running by more than 10% each time. I don't know how it works when you previous running was 0 (aka a beginner), but I imagine your feet were not quite as ready as your heart and lungs and legs.<BR/><BR/>ps - that's AWESOME! I can never talk while I run, no matter how slow I'm going. Your cardio system is in great shape!<BR/><BR/>Also, in 26 days we're gonna know just how powerful our minds are, because when we decide to do something, we do it!Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447302746208359404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-74614876694235184442008-05-27T08:22:00.000-05:002008-05-27T08:22:00.000-05:00Wow congrats on the running, that's quite a feat! ...Wow congrats on the running, that's quite a feat!
