I'm of the mind, it's generally easier to get forgiveness than permission! So, needless to say, this is what I did today! LOL! I played with the kids in the local pool till about 8:30(hour and a half or so), put them to bed and headed out the door at about 10:30 for a run. It was late and I was tired, but I'm running 5K with my wife on Wed and a 5k race on Sat, so it was my only time to get a long run in. I was going for 5 miles, but the voices urged me on and I turned my 5k rout twice for a new longest run and longest BFR of 6.2 miles. My feet were pretty tender by the end and I was sure I was blistered to hell, but maybe the 2hrs let my feet harden back up? IDK.
The old blister below the ball of my big toe closer to the arch pulled away more and where I cut away the big blisters on the outside of my feet felt a little tender, the balls of my feet a little tender as I removed the old blister skin there too and my big toes wouldn't quit gripping, or at least I thought...had to keep reminding them over and over, but no new blisters noted at all. All in all, a good run, I was loose even when I got tired, feet no worse for wear and that's 18.8 barefoot miles down, a life time to go!!
Tell me what y'all think? Is this up there with running in the rain due to the feet soaking softening them up and my form is really improving, or do they get too much time to dry back out? Also, do you leave old blister skin once it's just loose and white, or let it wear off on it's own?
Thanks, y'all!
