I tell you what - that last mile is a killer. I just felt completely out of steam and ready to throw in the towel. Anyone else feel like toast at the end of long runs?
Next Saturday is 10 miles - I'm hoping to be below a 13:28 avg pace, but we'll see what happens!
And as for the title of this post....well, i'll let the picture speak for itself:

Now, before I get lectured on my running shoes - my feet get blisters regardless of the shoes. I've worn 4 or so different pairs of shoes over my running "career" and I always get blisters in the same spot. Must be in the way I run, I'm guessing. Some people lose toenails, I get blisters. Good thing is, they don't hurt! Just ugly.:P

Wow, 9 miles. Awesome!!
At least the blisters don't hurt! that'd be horrible.
good luck on the upcoming 10 miles you fantastic little runner lady!!
I used to have those EXACT same blisters and it wasn't my brand of shoe, it was the width. I went to a "D" width (most shoes come in a "B") and no more blisters (well, not in those spots).
If you have dreams of running for hours and hours one day, you'll thank me if you go up a width. :)
Good job!! I know you are going to totally be under 3hrs!!
I can't wait to finally meet you before the race :)
Awesome job on the run! My husband is always making fun of my ugly feet, I guess I just don't even care :)
No, I am proud of YOU!!!!! Seriously, we both are going to do so well in a short little while here! Also, I think you should treat yourself to a pedicure with all this hard work and all!!!
O.U.C.H. Just looks like it hurts, but I'm glad they don't hurt if you say so! Great job!
I used to get them a lot too..I invested in some good expensive wicking socks for longer runs and no more blisters
OMG, guess I don't run enough because my feet haven't looked like that yet. I'm assuming as the training increases these next few months, my feet will begin to look like that? YIKES!! Take care of those feet :)
other than that, congrats on the workouts!
Looks like those blisters hurt!
Is it the socks? Or the width of the shoes like an earlier blog reader suggested?
Nine Miles!! AWESOME!!! U are doing so well and you can get the sub-3hour!!!!
Keep up the good work!
I swear by my Injinji's (toe socks).
I always get blisters, too, no matter what socks or shoes I wear. You're right - they're just ugly lol. Your pace is faster than mine! GOOD JOB!!!
