Blister Remedy!!!!!

Before I get to the blister remedy I know a good number of readers only really care about Sky pics...


...so here you go.  I was in the bathroom and could hear her crying and pissed off, but didn't think much of it because she had been full of sass all day.  I didn't make any effort to hurry and finish in the bathroom, so felt kind of bad when I walked out and saw that she was stuck.  But, I didn't feel too bad because I took time to take a pic before helping her.  :)

Ok, on to the blister remedy...

...this spray is working like magic.  I spray it on, let it dry (it's still sticky/tacky) then sprinkle foot powder on my feet and put my socks on.  Sounds super easy right?  Wrong!!!!  The spry is so very sticky that it is like a wrestling match to pull my knee-high compression socks on.  They stick so bad to my foot that I work up a sweat just putting on my socks!  And, yes I know I could switch to low socks, but every time I do that my shins hate me, and I don't care for calf sleeves, so knee high compression it is. 

Do you have any idea how nice it is to run and not feel hot burning spots on my feet?!  It's nice, really nice, worth the sock wrestling match! 

Speaking of my feet...zero and I mean ZERO foot pain!  Given the fast pace last night and how tired my legs felt for the stroller run today I was a little surprised things were not flared up, but it's all good.  Actually I don't have any pain of any kind!  Muscle soreness and fatigue yes, but no pain! 

Pain free is a great place to be mid(ish) training cycle! 

And, to keep the Sky lovers happy here are a few more...

...swinging in her new rain jacket.  (she looks so grown up!)  Good thing we got her a rain jacket because we got caught in a major downpour walking home from the park...

 ...Sky and Mark in the rain, showing off how well her jacket works!  She was not amused.

Tuff Skin--Wow did you ever take me back to my high school football days. I did not know it was still available. Please tell me that I wAS the one who gave you the heADS up about this amazing foot care product. Val and I are teaching a self trigger point therapy class here in the new future with quite a few participants already signed up for it. Great shot of sky getting herself in a predicament. I am sure to be followed by many more.
Love you all--dad
