Blisters

This is what happens after being a bit too enthusiastic about barefoot running. First couple of times I ran I was fine. On Monday I ran in the morning, felt great,and actually had a good pace. When I got home i realized I had several gnarly blisters: on the middle and third toes of each foot, a small one next to the ball of my left foot, and this bad boy on my right foot, which is actually two overlapping blisters. Stunningly painful for a few days. But as I expected, it is now hardening up nicely. Will let it heal for a few more days before I do more running, shod. Next week will do a circuit or two of barefoot. A couple months of this and i will have steel plates for feet!

A very strange aspiration indeed.
