Hands up, I admit it, I ignored the warnings and was far too ambitious.
I thought I would run half my normal distance around The Downs but felt fine, so carried on for more than three miles. Around two miles in I could feel padding on my left foot that shouldn’t be there – a certain fluidity on the pad beneath the toes. It was the beginnings of a very big blister and soon was accompanied by a limp.
A couple of notes – at the beginning of the run it felt like my thighs were doing a lot of work and curiously my right foot was completely blister free.
Time for a break.
