Blistering Speed

8.00am, 30 minutes easy, Wooloomooloo - Botanical Gardens

Yesterday's battling training run spread the big blister on the ball of my left foot down toward the arch of the foot. I've had a few friction hot-spots on the soles of my feet while racing this year, so about time I got some decent shoes for racing. I went out and bought some asics DS racers. I' ve got the shoes and the blisters, now I only need some speed.

Legs were a bit heavy this morning on the run but better, and the blister has gone down. I could feel the thinner sole of the racers but it was comfortable enough. It will take me a couple of days for the legs to fully recover from C2S to get a proper feel for running in the lighter racers.

I don't know how I'm going to run a half marathon in September at the moment; 4 km family fun run here we come.

Continuing to listen to the Flaming Lips; 'a serious head trip' to quote Rolling Stone. Saves me having to buy drugs at Kings Cross.
