Don't read if you have a weak stomach =)

For the past two weeks, I hadn't been to the JCC because I couldn't find my membership card, and I didn't want to have to get a new one. So I have been running a 3.3 mile loop around my neighborhood, and it's actually a really good run.

Well, yesterday I went to the J because I had found my card (in my car - for all those on the edge of their seats), and after running for just about 10 minutes, the back of my ankles started to hurt because my new sneakers were rubbing against my foot. I decided to tough it out because the treadmill that I like using has no "pause" button. Only stop. So if I want to stop for a second in the middle of a run to tie a shoe or in this case, pull up my sock to stop the rubbing, it's impossible unless I want it to forget all my workout stats thus far. So I decided to tough it out and keep running. Around 2.5 miles, it was really hurting, but I figured, it's already hurting this much, I can finish 3. At the end of three miles, I got off and looked at my feet. The backs of both ankles had not only gotten blisters, but the blisters had popped. So needless to say, the backs of my feet were (and very much still are) very raw. I couldn't do the rest of my "on my feet" workout, so I did a few machines, some ab workouts, and then went home.

Now my feet still hurt, and I am not sure when I'll be able to wear my sneakers again so they don't hurt.
