Great job today runners! I know you have heard this before but remember it's not supposed to be easy. Just enjoy yourselves, push beyond what you think your limits are and don't take it too seriously. If you take the fun out of it the negative thoughts will start entering your mind and your body will react to these negative thoughts. Let's stay positive and finish strong!
Here is the route we followed this morning:
Start at the club. Head east on Boston to Ellwood. North on Ellwood to Baltimore Street. At the top of the hill turn left onto Patterson Park Ave and run down the hill to the light at Eastern Ave. When you reach the light turn around and run back up the hill to the top turning left back onto Baltimore St. Take Wolfe St. South to Fleet St. and head west to the Harbor. Wrap around the Harbor past the Rusty Scupper along the water until the path comes to an end and you hit a driveway. Continue on along Key Highway turning right onto Boyle Street. Up the hill and turn right onto Fort Ave. Continue along Fort Avenue which will bring you to Light Street. Follow Light Street back to the Harbor and continue along the water back to the club.
This run was 10.77 miles. One more long one to go next weekend and it's race day!

The best treatment for a blood blister is to drain the blood from the pouch without braking open the top skin. Leaving the top skin over a blood blister lessens the possibility of infection. In order to drain a blood blister you can take a very sharp pin and sterilize it in scalding hot water. Put it through the skin at the bottom of the blood blister and allow the blood to drain out. This allows the blood blister to heal without causing any opening in the top skin. Applying an antiseptic ointment after breaking the blood blister speeds up the healing and prevents infection. You should then cover the area of the blood blister with a bandage and change the dressing daily until the blood blister heals.
