Red Maples Bunion 8 Miler

Just ran a painful 8 miles in my old NB 851s. It seems I've developed a bunion on the joint of my left big toe. I think, since I've been running in Mizunos, which have plenty of toe room and a looser fit, my bunion could develop in peace without causing problems. My 851s are a little tighter in the forefoot area and rubbed it pretty hard. I developed a blister and put some moleskin on it and my run was great as far as time: 1:18:55 at 9:51 per mile. But the Bunion was noticeably painful. To top it off I just ordered new running shoes which may also be a bad fit for a bunion. I'll do what I can to treat it and read up on it. Any runners out there that care to offer advice, please feel free. I hope I don't have to resort to surgery. It's not a big bunion but it's noticeable.
