After my first run, I had the water blisters to prove it.<\/p>\n<p>\nToday seemed like another good day for a run, but with the water blisters not quite healed, I wasn&#8217;t sure. Yet, I had an idea:<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ve accumulated numerous pairs of &#8220;runners&#8221; (aka running shoes) over the years. I buy them on sale, whether I need them or not. The pair I ran in a couple of days back are fine for walking, but aren&#8217;t really broken in. Moreover, they&#8217;re the firm, rubber-and-leather kind, rather than the foam-and-fabric kind. I wondered: would wearing a softer pair, the foam-and-fabric kind, be easier on the feet, perhaps keeping the blisters from popping? I decided to try.<\/p>\n<p>\nI am happy to report that it worked: I still have the blisters, but they didn&#8217;t pop. In fact, I barely felt them during the run.<\/p>\n<p>The situation speaks, perhaps, to the advantage of having dedicated runners just for running.<\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about running: the tutor mentions an experiment that turned out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[180],"tags":[3832,3725],"class_list":["post-50429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exercise-and-fitness","tag-blisters","tag-running"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50429"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50432,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50429\/revisions\/50432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
