Came home from a long run two days ago to find a blister the size of a grape on the side of my big toe. Didn't hurt, felt no discomfort during the run. I was going to leave it alone, but it was so big I didn't think I could run with it intact. I reluctantly took off yesterday, but carefully drained it and covered it with a bandage and neosporin. Got up today and it was back, full, and as big as ever! It's an alien, I tell you! I drained it again so I could run today, bandaged it up and taped the toe. Ran with no discomfort. Took the dressing off and it's reconstituting! Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and this thing is going to be making breakfast.

Yeah, well...sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

More pictures. Fewer words. And the neosporin is not needed, FWIW.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Poor baby

I wouldn't mind the occasional blister so much if mine didn't always hurt. Though I am prone to really raw spots moreso than blisters...on my heels. I should have taken photos of what a pair of Sauconys did to my achilles area--ow. Any idea what caused your blister...new shoes?

I rarely have blister problems. In fact, I prefer to run without socks. The only reason I wear socks is because my shoes get really ripe if I don't. I think this blister was caused by wet socks...and I'll admit it...I may have worn them more than once between washes. Come on...you know you've done it. :|
