Scuzzy Floor Mat Material...

Sometimes I have to use the mats in the gym which are also enthusiastically enjoyed by school children in an after school karate program. My feet are outrageously itchy now and I'm pretty sure I caught something FUNKY and gross from those little whipper snappers. I've never had this problem before. Feet aren't red or anything, just itchy, any suggestions on what to pour over them to get them to stop itching ... and would Clorox wiping my feet after using the mat help?? lol Thanks!

Also I did the workout of the week (although it was a little more advanced then where I'm at) :)

    Hi Runner Paula, (I'm definitely not a runner paula)

    I've moved your comment to the April 18th-24th thread where we're posting this weeks comments.

    Also, we're chatting on the APRIL!!!! thread.

    Come see!

    Oh, okay! *high five* I didn't want to derail any conversations with talk about my feet! haha - speaking of which I actually do have rather nice feet, but darn if it doesn't sound like they're straight up nasty now. Lol.

    Am I the designated Runner? Do I get to post moments of Runner Zen?
    *hope* haha

    This weeks would be - you expend 20% more energy for every 5% of grade, so running a shorter run with a hill might be more productive then a longer run on straight. :) (Factoid from book, "Running and Stuff" discussing Ultra Running for the Badwater Ultra...) *Cheers*

    No, I am just blind. You did fine. And I hope others take a lesson from you and clean up after themselves! I just saw this while looking for an older post. B)
