I received some great advice via email from veteran Boston Marathoner, Josh Cheron. He had me pick up some Arrid Xtra Dry spray deodorant to stop the sweating & excess friction that contribute to blisters. By Golly, it worked! No new blisters today.And, as a bonus, my feet now smell like a very attractive Italian man - you know the type - well muscled with perfect teeth. I can picture him now. He looks like an Antonio or an Adolfo - definitely Italian. Here we (Adolfo & I) are with Arrid Xtra Dry.

DISTANCE TODAY: 3.03 miles
INTENSITY: Between 4.8 - 6.2 mph

The run felt good. I'm amazed at the fact that I'm able to run this much after so many weeks away. It just goes to show you how powerful the mind/body connection really is. As soon as I stopped telling myself, "You're not a runner," I became one. I can't wait to go again tomorrow.
