W3D1 with no blisters!

After being very stupid last week, I had two days' rest and completed the first run of week 3 this morning.

I taped six of my toes and although I don't have any blister trouble since the last run, I wasn't taking any chances!

It's nice to be doing the slightly longer runs. 3 minutes may not seem much but it's enough to start to feel the rhythm of running. Which I really enjoy.

Happy running :)

I have been plagued by blisters and bought anti blister socks, well done for keeping going

I'm going to look into these types of socks! Do you recommend any brand, or is it worth investing in high-end brands?

I've been using these for 4 years now they are brilliant. Was originally put on to them by another forum user here. And they wear really well too,had 1 pair over 2 years now but use them every run.

Ps think we are the only ones awake! 😂

It's probably time differences! I live in Australia so I'm roughly 15 hours ahead of the US (give it take a few hours, depending on where your address). So if you're up at 2am, that's roughly 5pm my time :)

(I'm writing this at 2am my time! I can't sleep haha)
