Random question for my fellow running bloggers....
Why is that I can run miles and miles of training runs blister-free, but when I run a race (no matter what the length) I end up with blisters on my toes?
It's definitely a head scratcher...
Oh...and here's a picture I took at the gym the other day that gave me the giggles. Not that fathers can't be hot, it just struck me as funny that he was advertising...Do his kids call him that? Did his wife make him get that plate?

Maybe the dad is stolen.
OMFG HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA OMG I would SOOOOO have to wait to see what "hot dad" came out. That's pretty bad.
Do you douse your socks with water on race day?
Speaking from experience.....men will do pretty much anything (no matter how stupid) their wives / girlfriends ask them to do....it is taught from a very early age.
This one, I have to admit, I would have fought tooth and nail.
I just asked the same question about blisters. I think my toes swell on race day.
