**Days 234 & 235**

My new running shoes suck! I bought the Asics Gel-Pulse 2 shoes, and they are not working for me!

They give me awful blisters on my heels:
I have one of these on each heel - oh, the pain!!!  They burn!!  I bought some heavy duty band aides, so, hopefully, I'll be able to do my run today.  Anyway, these shoes are a bust!  I don't know what the deal is - they're the right size, they felt good in the store, I did the heel check (no slipping), but they just aren't the right shoe for me!  I can't use my New Balance running shoes anymore - they are just done!  So, I'm going go back to using the Mizuno running shoes I have - they do cause a bit of pain in my toes, but, at least, they don't give me blisters!

  2. OUCH, SHANNON! OUCH! I hate blisters. I get them in any sneaker I EVER put on my feet (I have dumb feet). I hope those heal fast. :(

  3. Ack - that's not a blister that's an open wound! Have you considered different socks? They can make a difference as well....I used to buy plain old cheap socks until the Avon Walk and now I'm sort of a sock snob because I HATE the way the old one's feel, lol I did alot of miles with no blisters wearing quality sicks with plenty of support, cushion and wicking.
