Get up, don't roll over

Friday morning and Sarah had just left for work, my body needed more sleep. But my mind wanted more running miles. Instead of rolling over I got up and cycled into work. Changed into my running shoes and did the 12km run along the Thames again.

Had some rubbing on the arches of my feet on Thursday's run and by the end of this run I knew I had acquired some blisters. Sure enough a big blister on each foot. Sunday is my long run day so I got some Compeed blister patches and now hoping they do the trick.

I have new running shoes which strangely I got from Harrods. Now before you start thinking I have inherited money or won the lottery, they ran a great promotion recently where you got a free pair of shoes with every pair you bought. So Sarah and I both got two new pairs each. I have always ran in Asics and up till now stuck with the 1100. But I upgraded to the 2120's. They feel a lot more structured and I am enjoying them so far. The blisters came from running in very cheap office socks. Not going to make that mistake again!

Today is a rest day, I am studying while Sarah gets pampered at a Spa for the afternoon. Looking forward to doing a longer run tomorrow, rain predicted.
