I was pushing off on two toes of my left foot and continually blistering them. I put toe rings on them and when the clicked it reminded me not to. I got my mileage up to 4 miles on asphalt no probs at all.

That's a good tip. I have wondered about taping thumb tacks to my heels, but that would be a little extreme.
Ha, Rick funny guy!
They didn't rub or anything or bother you in anyway? I would love to try running in toe rings. (I would love to try running at this point.) I scrape my long toes when I run/ran because they are SO long. They just ended up taking the abuse and adjusted fine with nice, thick skin. (I wouldn't call it callouses though, since it never looked like that nasty stuff.)

Sorry for the joke, let's not turn this into another "which foot strike is best" thread.
I use every part of my foot depending on conditions. The best way for me to avoid pushing off is to back off the pace and increasing my cadence. I have push off problems with my right foot. Middle two toes will get sore once in a while.

I had the problem mainly on my left foot, the long toes as TJ said. I just saw some and wondered what effect they would have since I was trying to increase my mileage, and it was effective. The were not uncomfortable at all, they did not rub at all, they just clicked when I "kissed" the ground wrong and I adjusted properly.
