Yesterday I ran four miles at tempo. Nothing exciting just a little faster than my long runs and a little less walking. I was able to pop a couple of the blisters underneath my big toenails towards the top which helped alleviate a lot of pressure and pain. The big toes still make me aware of their presence at all times, but at least they do not hurt too badly.
My marathon training is pretty mellow except for the long runs every other week. My goals is completion and injury prevention. Serious runners do a lot of speed work and cross-training. I will just be seriously happy to finish.
When I get home I am going to get some orthotics for my running shoes to prevent my feet from sliding forward too much. I have high arches and normally I wear them, but mine were getting a bit too ripe before we left so I figured I would leave them at home. We all make mistakes.
