Today Is National Running Day, Did You Run?

Tweet

Our yearly holiday is once again upon us and it is time for everyone to get out and run.  It doesn’t matter how far or how fast, just get out and RUN!  Today is a good day to remember what you are running for as so many websites are asking, but this website is not asking why, but more importantly IF.

Sure knowing why you run can help with the motivation to get you out the door each morning, afternoon, or night, and I am not saying you don’t need a reason to run, all I am saying is that sometimes while we are finding a reason to run we find many more reasons not to run.  For that reason I am asking IF you ran, and not why you ran.  I will leave that question to everyone else to ask today.

Blisters, how do you deal with them?

I find it funny that I am even writing about blisters.  I have never had a blister on either of my feet or toes since I started running almost 4 years ago.  Now, I have had the occasional sore toe, and of course really sore feet, but never a blister.

Over the past few weeks I have been doing a lot of walking as a supplement my running.  This walking is completely unrelated to running and is for a contest we have going on at work over the summer.  The funny thing is that this walking has given me multiple blisters.  I am sure it is because my feet move around differently in my shoes when I walk, rather than run.
