I took Wednesday off because I have this blister on the ball of my left foot which keeps getting bigger. I thought I would man up and walk yesterday which caused the blister to get even bigger to the size of a half dollar. I did walk for 1.78 miles in 30 minutes but under considerable pain. So today I took some moles skin and cut out a hole the size of the blister and taped it over the outer edge of the blister so the blister bubble sticks up through the center of the mole skin. This is an old ultrarunning technique used to keep you running after blistering on a 50 to whatever distance run. Not bad so far, just walking around. Will see if it stays on when I get on the treadmill. I can't believe my feet have got that soft

That's a pretty neat trick. I can't believe I haven't heard of that one. Good one to keep in the memory bank. We're getting close. I'm excited to come home! Stay safe. Love ya.
