Our typical schedule is a 2 or 3 mile run twice a week, then our group run on Saturday (which is anywhere from 3 to 12 miles (Not until week 17, mind you), and either another run on Sunday or a cross training.
Well i got my 2 mile run out of the way on Monday and we were supposed to do another 2 mile run today. I strapped on my shoes and hit the treadmill. My legs were pretty stiff and heavy at first, but i worked out the kinks about half a mile in.
One of the reasons i started this blog is because i told myself i had to be honest. I was not going to "cheat" and say i ran a full 2 miles, if in reality all i did was run half a mile and walk the rest.
So i am proud to tell you i did run the full two miles today without stopping to walk. But let me tell you, my feet were KILLING me. We had an event today at work which required me to be standing/walking from 8am until 1pm.
Stupid me wore 3" heels to this event.
My feet are now all blistery and hurting like a mofo. Good thing i don't have to run again until Saturday!
PS. Anyone want to recommend some good running music? I need something upbeat to keep me moving. Today's soundtrack consisted of some Michael Jackson, Prodigy and Tool.

they make great bandages just for blisters. check em out. they even stay on in the shower!
not sure if your coach mentioned it but you are gonna want to get some decent running socks. Cotton socks hold water when your feet sweat. so, as you add mileage and sweat more, the moisture stays in the sock, rubs on your feet and, voila! Blisters! Running stores can hook u up with decent socks. It really makes a difference. You can even find running socks with extra cushioning in them to ease the impact on your sore hooves!
