So today I attempted a new tactic with my blister issue.
That's right, Those be TOE SOCKS!!! Haha... Athletic Runner Toe Socks to be exact. I've been asking around for suggestions for my blister problem. My super awesome coworker Anna told me that runners toe socks might be something I'd like to try. I thought that it seemed strange, but it's actually a thing! Who knew?
Well, I didn't know. I went into the running shoe and athletics store I purchased my awesome shoes from and asked them from advice on the blister issue. They gave me a bunch of options one of which was the toe socks. So I thought what the heck and bought a pair. These babies were even on sale! Heck Yes!
So I tried them out today for my workout and I think they solve the problem mostly. There's still some discomfort in the blister-prone toes, but I'm thinking that's because I wrapped them too tightly before putting the socks on. I think I'll try the socks without wrapping the toes and see if that's any better. But they aren't as bulky as I was expecting, they're actually quite comfortable aside from my tapping blunder.
If this doesn't work there's a whole list of ideas that I've collected and I'll just keep trying stuff until something works or I brake down and see a podiatrist. I'm pretty optimistic though that I can find something that will work. I only have three weeks really so better get that sorted soon.
Worked out on my own today and it was alright. I was mainly concerned because today I started back on my meds. They are supposed to help me normalize my blood sugar, among other things, but in doing this they make me feel weak and shaky. I wasn't looking forward for that to hit while working out. Luckily though, it seems like dinner pills didn't make me feel as yucky as morning pills did.
Mmmmm, hope I adjust fast. I'd hate to have to deal with this while trying to walk and have fun in DisneyWorld. ;)
