8k on Saturday. BLISTER...!!

links_slayer

Ran 15k on Saturday and when I got home I had a huge (~2" x 1") on the arch of my left foot. Didn't feel a thing as I was running but it was about ready to burst as I was about to get into the shower. I've NEVER had a blister this big in my entire life.

I decided to drain it, used a needle that I cleaned with rubbing alcohol...best I could do.

Thankfully it doesn't really hurt today but it did feel awkward in a shoe (covered in a huge band aid) all day today. It's been "airing out" since I got home and probably will be over night, too.

Any advice on what I should be looking to accomplish running-wise this week? I was thinking of jogging at least one day (Thursday?) but don't want to irritate it more and make it basically impossible to run my race on Saturday.

Thanks in advance!!!!!
