Race day is 7 days away and i've got a blister on my foot on the 17th Training. The blister is on my left foot, just at the side of my forefoot where the big toe is.
(above: the punctured blister)
If running a 10km can cause you a blister... i can only imagine what will happen after the KRI 12.8km run... gosh! What will happen if this is the Penang bridge run? amputation?!?!
Well, i guess it's the price to pay to play
(according to a website article in suite101.com, this blister of mine is a small one. So no worries.)

Uh oh...
Either your shoe is a bad fit / wrong type.
Or you're wearing bad socks.
I used to get blisters pretty badly. Had to do "preemptive blister management" before every race. As in, I'd know exactly where the blisters will come. So I put plaster on all those spots first.
But after I switched to the correct type of shoes, (my NB 767), no more blisters ensued. No need to do "preemptive blister management" anymore!
Or, the other alternative is, to get a special type of socks. I think the brand is called Thorlough. It feels very comfortable when you wear it. You can't imagine getting blisters in it.
But it's RM50 per pair. I don't personally see the need. But some do. Just for the info :)
Evelyn: Yes madam! I will drink water.
Joshua: You are right. I'm wearing a bad cheap socks. RM5 for 4 socks. Where else if not the pasar malam in Bangi. The socks is so thin that some may mistaken it as a panty hose.
