Personal:

I'm married with four children.  I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays.   I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years.  One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless.  I hope this won't take too many years to achieve!

Another day of no running due to a small little blister on my little toe.  Who would think a small little thing like that could take me out?  Usually I'm able to run around a blister, but not this one.  The way it feels I don't know if I'll be able to run at all this week.  You know how you can just tell based on pain how long something is going to last?  When it keeps you awake at night burning you know it's going to be trouble.  Hopefully by Thursday I'll be back at it.  I'll miss my group tomorrow and those lovely hills, but what can you do?   I did manage to put in 20 minutes on the Stair Master at the Rec Ctr, so at least that's something.

Darn blister...those little buggers!!! When they're red hot, they're painful. Ice helps in cooling it. Try aquaphor and bandaid to keep the irritation off if you are wearing shoes. Hope it heals up fast so you can run with your group on Thu. Good luck!

STINKY blister! I'm sorry about that, but I know you'll be back at it soon. I'm leaving for trek Wed morning so I'll miss you this week, but see you next!

Thanks, Smooth. This is one of those red hot ones. Every day it feels a little better, but I can't put a shoe on pain free. Thanks for the advice.
