I’d been getting this little blister on my right pinky-toe the last couple of long runs. Upon investigation, it seems as if I’ve worn through the lining of both of my shoes in that spot - not good. So its off to RunTex for a new pair. And guess what - its sale time! How cool is that? Anyway, I chatted with Jeff for a while, and tried on quite a few different shoes before coming back to the big brother of the one I already had. I picked up a pair of Saucony Triumphs, size 12. These should have an ever-so-slightly bigger toebox than my last pair, and are a little better constructed overall.

Of course, I couldn’t resist picking up new socks as well. DeFeet, naturally. Got one pair with the Texas flag, and another pair with Rudolph for the holidays. Fun! I also picked up some BodyGlide - lets see how well it works.

Jeff did warn me not to start out with the new shoes on my long run tomorrow, but I may do it anyway since I know that the old ones bug my toe. Hmm…
