-----------------
I'm coming up on two years of working out. When I say two years, I mean that I did not do anything....no exercise.....nothing until two years ago when I turned forty. That was the start of my transformation. I'm really not trying to toot my horn, I'm just saying that I was really lazy before. The most exercise I got was cutting the grass. That brings me to my topic for today......
So I have been working out for two years, ran probably a couple thousand miles, have gone through many pairs of shoes for for this I have only had one tiny blister on my toe from running. So you can imagine my surprise when I notice this yesterday:
And the real bummer about this? I got it from working out in my yard, trimming bushes and cutting the grass and not from running! Haha! What an idiot!
I usually put bodyglide on my feet when I run so blisters stay away. Did I use it when working in the yard? No, why would I think I would need that for three hours of working? Oops.
Question of the day: Do you put anything on your feet before running? Besides shoes and socks that is!
Have a great day and.....Keep Running!!!!!
I usually don't even put on the shoes and socks:)
ReplyDeleteBut when I do...I put Vaseline on them if anything...gross I know.
No I don't put anything. Last year after the marathon the only places I didn't have blisters were where I didn't tape up my left foot. I had coolmax socks on but it just wasn't great. BUT my love of my Ironman Express socks has proven to be very helpful. No problems this year. *knock on wood!*
ReplyDeleteIf I wear wicking socks, I don't put anything on my feet, but regular socks require bodyglide!
ReplyDeleteSucks about your blister dude!!! I wouldn't have done anything before working in the yard either!!! I've been doing body glide on my feet and it's definitely been helping out a lot. I love it!! I'm really hoping that at the 2 yr mark you post some pretty sweet before & afters, including pictures, weightloss, endurance, diet, etc. I love that stuff. You've been kicking @$$ and taking names!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought to put anything on my feet before socks. I don't usually have blister problems (hope I didn't just jinx myself). The irony of your blister... stinks.
ReplyDeleteOW!! That's how I am, too. After all the running I do, what do I get sore feet from? Wearing high heels!
ReplyDeleteI do not use anything on my feet. I've only gotten a couple blister from running. One was after Bayshore! I just pop it with a needle and gently push to drain. it's usually dried up by the next day.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a big one! I usually put Body Glide on my feet before a marathon which has worked well.
