Blisters

Unfortunately, during today's run, I've managed to get a couple of blisters on the soles of my feet - the first of my training schedule.  I've been wondering what might have caused them:

1. Ill-fitting shoes.  As these were my new shoes I'm hoping this isn't the cause.  I'm now wearing Asics because New Balance no longer sell the 2A narrow fitting shoes - if you know of a good alternative please let me know!
2. Loosely laced shoes (see above) although I tightened them only the other day.
3. Wet socks.  In an attempt to avoid running on tarmac (which can be a problem in causing shin splint injuries) I ran on grass - but it was rather boggy in places and I ended up with wet socks.

I'm really hoping it's the latter - let's see how I get on this week!

Otherwise, it was a good run today.  My neighbour joined me and it made the time and distance just melt away.
