Good luck on your half marathon tomorrow.  Could you post a race report afterwards?  I love reading those - very inspirational.  Have fun!

Brie2010

Thank you!

I'll be doing a full recap on my blog tomorrow afternoon/evening.   I'm sure I'll be around here biitching about being sore so you'll have the link!

Brie, how are your feet holding up?  I just don't know how you run with those blisters!

Oh, they suck, but I'm dealing.  I saw a podiatrist and we're trying a few different things.  I'm getting custom orthotics made on Monday, but if that doesn't stop them we're going to do a core biopsy of my skin to make sure I don't have eczema or psoriasis or some other skin issue manifesting itself oddly in this way.

Did you get your new shirt to make you feel better?

Haha, I did.  There's a picture of it on my blog!  It's lime green and I can't decide if it's horribly ugly or I love it.  :)

Good Luck Brie! 

I don't know the full story on your blisters but I know when I used to get them I used duct tape onthe areas where they started before they started and I stopped getting blisters.

Brie2010

Thanks trifury!  I've tried duct tape with no luck.  Part of the problem is that my feet sweat like a wh0re in church, so nothing stays stuck!

I think it looks good! Good luck tomorrow :)

If my old brain will remember I'll get you the name of the powder stuff my running partner uses.  It is the only thing that has ever worked for her and we've been testing it for our Boston Marathom training and she's been blister free.

Brie2010

Let me know!  We may be moving to a prescription anti-perspirant for my feet soon.

And OMG you're running Boston?  How fun!  How is training going?  I'm totally going to be stalking Runner's World online for updates--I can't wait!

Trifury2007

I am so lucky.  I got a non qual # (24003) from my running club.  Probably a 1 and done marathon experience for me.  Too hard on the arthritis.  Training has been going well though and now I am tapering.  I LOVE tapering.

Brie2010

Still, what an awesome experience! 

I love tapering too.  Taper twitch?  What's that?

Stackeye210

Good Luck Brie. 

Brie2010

Thanks Stack!
