Yes, I am pretty sure that’s the issue. The end of toe blisters only happen when I run over 10 miles at a quicker pace. I lose at least one toenail after every half marathon. I have some pretty wicked calluses at the end of my toes.

Pro Tip: I recommend warming the water first. Unless you don’t have any water to make coffee. A bucket of cold water will wake you better than a few dozen shots of expresso.

Re: socks and KT tape Anyone else allergic to the world? I can’t use KT tape because I am allergic to adhesives. Seriously, blisters form under the tape in minutes. Something about the glue causes my skin to revolt. I also can’t use anything wool or smart-wool. It seems like all the “anti-blister” socks are made of…

@kgirlhart Happy runnivererary! And thanks for the plumbing well wishes @kgirlhart and @rusgolden.

@Avidkeo I bought a pair of refurbished wireless AfterShoks on Amazon for a great price. I love having my ears free so I can hear traffic and environmental sounds for safety. I’ve had this pair for 6 months and put them through all kinds of weather / abuse. They are still going strong. You might find a great brand that has…

Ha! My daughter is running a “micro-marathon” put on by a micro-brewery next month. 0.5 km - They even give out a metal and t-shirt (and beer). That’s my kind of marathon. 😂

Sorry @sarahthes. I imagine it sucks just as much on the other side of the weather spectrum.

@rusgolden Gasp! You are right! I just checked the weather for Saturday. A low of 66 degrees!!!!! :) Oh, that makes me happy. There is an 80% chance of rain but if it is 66 degrees my butt is going out for a really wet AND NOT HOT run. Hooray! I am not seeing any 40 degree weather but that is normal. We don't normally see…

I run at 5am but I live in suburbia land. It’s pretty safe. I have to watch out for soccer moms in SUVs on their phones and the occasional creepy perv who trolls the trails. I also run with others twice a week. I am mostly worried about loose dogs and inattentive drivers. There is a LOT of inattentive drivers in the…

Ketchup goes with just about everything. It is not only a FOOD but one of the best foods. ;p Oh, I also like pineapple on my pizza. Especially if the pizza also has banana pepppers, red onions, mushrooms and extra pineapple (with a side of ketchup).

Amazing marathon world record broken this morning in Berlin — 2:01:39! Holy cow that is FAST! https://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/45539546

I have no experience with this but I am sending all my healing energy and positive thoughts your way.

So, can you wash running shoes in a washing machine? Will they fall apart if washed on a delicate cycle? It is still a hot, humid, nasty mess in Texas and my shoes are currently a bio-hazard. My husband is making me store them on the back porch - LOL. While part of me wants to use this excuse to by new ones, my checkbook…

I found the GPS on my old Fitbit to be really off. My phone was more accurate so I stopped using the Fitbit. I used my phone for a while until I bought a watch with better GPS accuracy.

@sarahthes Oh no! Rest and take care of it! This put me in a boot for a month because I ignored it until I finished my marathon in December. I figured if I didn’t go to the doctor he couldn’t tell me not to run the marathon I had been training my butt off for. Moral of the story? Don’t be me! ;) The tendinitis still flares…
