Dilemma...would like to get at least one 20-miler in before the Philly Marathon in three weeks.  Decided to take off yesterday to see if the blister would dry out for a distance run to be more tolerable.  Got up today, laced up, and the blister feels exactly the same.  Within a mile of running the forefoot was already burning.  Realizing 2.5 hours on the foot was not going to happen, I shifted gears quickly and decided to just run hard for an hour through the hills.  If it's going to hurt, might as well get as far as I can in a limited amount of time on the foot- mind over matter!  Did 8.5 w/an overall pace of 6:58- fastest mile (6) in 6:40, slowest mile (3) in 7:29, and last 1.5 miles @ 6:55 pace before jogging the final mile slowly back to the house- 9.5 miles total and hope to get a 20-miler in on Sunday or Monday- we'll see.
