Subject: Just got my first blister two weeks before IM taper
When I was out running yesterday, I got my first real blister (on the ball of my foot).  I've never had this happen before.  It was my longest run in my new shoes, so I'm hoping that was the culprit.  The blister is small and has almost gone away, but I knew it was there.  Any suggestions on what to do?  I can still workout and shouldn't affect my training, but still, the run was only 10 miles. How am I going to make it 26.2?

Body glide on the soles of your feet!

Were the new shoes the same brand/model you replaced???

The body glide may work for you, may not....I tried it on the spot I generally get a blister on both feet if I run over 12 miles or so. I still formed a bit of a blister. So whenever I run over 12 miles I put a piece of thin mole skin on those spots...I don't even feel it there nor do I get a blister....Tom

They were the same brand (Mizuno), but a different model. (Elixir 5 vs. Inspire 6).  I used the Elixir 4 training for my 1/2 all last year and had no issues.  Then my local running store had me try something different, which I didn't care for.
