The weather has just turned warm and I have developed a few blisters (popped) on my feet and have less than 2 weeks before marathon day. The skin is still intact. Any treatment suggestions? I have switched socks in hopes that no additional blisters develop.

Blister Woes

I have horrible blisters too. Here's my advice, pop the blisters and put neosporen on them, so that they can heal before the race.

Also, I just went to a running store and picked up a deoderant-like product that you can put on your body for blisters and chaffing. It eases the friction so that the current blisters don't hurt and new blisters won't form.

Good luck. Also, don't worry about pain. On the day of the marathon,you'll be so psyched that even if you do have blisters, they won't hurt
