My bunion was still hurting mainly because I rubbed a blister on it last time. I wasn't going to run today but I got my new shoes in the mail and decided to go on a quick 4 mile jaunt. It's a runner's law that you have to run the day you get your new shoes so I put some moleskin over my bunion blister and did some creative lacing of my new shoes so as not to put too much pressure on my sore spot and headed out. My new Asics 2110 (bought by the helpful advice of fellow marathoner Kirk Adams) felt great. The were firm and fast and didn't put too much pressure on the bunion. I had a great run for 4 miles at 37:54 for 9:28 per mile. The real pain came when I took off the moleskin which was stuck to the blister. I had to clean all the skin off and douse it in rubbing alcohol (which felt wonderful) and put a bandaid on it. May have to take another 2 days off to let that heal now. Sorry for the gross picture since runner's feet are some of the ugliest things on the planet. But it will provide a break from all those beautiful wildflowers, country roads, and lakes reflecting the autumn trees.
