Blister Part II

I realized yesterday that I was in dire need of new running shoes. My previous trips to the store were unsuccessful mostly because nothing was on sale. Today during lunch I went to Marshall's. It is a great store for bargains. I got 3 pairs of sneakers for just under 90$. 2 New balance and one unknown brand Avia or something like that. Of course they are all white with color accents which means they are going to look dirty quicker then I run a mile. (cute Huh?)

I got home ready to run! I wore the unknown brand today and though I had a pretty good run, I got a HUGE blister. I'm hoping once broken in they will stop doing that. If they don't I'll have to invest in Lillie's expensive anti blister socks or just use the other 2 shoes. I really wanted one of the pairs to be broken in by Sunday. I don't want to risk wearing shoes that give me blisters on a race day. The fact that I am determined to beat 30 minutes is even more motivation to wear shoes that are comfortable on my feet.

Don't worry about me though. Pat is carrying me around the apartment (when I'm not busy rolling around in the office chair. This blister is not going to last!
