Also training for the next Cross Country season. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a blister problem i have on my feet. I know it could be the shoes, but truely i dont think thats it. I've been running in them for about 6 months now and it just recently started. Any advice on how to get rid of them? or make them stop hurting? Also, I'de really appreciate some dietary tips on how to lose stuborn stomach fat (i know there isnt things such as spot reduction except lypo, and thats not happenin) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -------------- -Aaron

I'm not sure what could be causing your blister problem. Maybe your shoes have lost their support (worn out) so they rub your feet differently now. If you work out outside, maybe it has something to do with the warmer weather. Hopefully one of the experts here can tell you why. -------------- "One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them." -LOTR Trilogy

Most long distance runners replace their shoes every 3 to 4 months and cross country is harder than marathon training. The mid sole wears out long before the outer sole. The problem is that you get creases on the inside of the shoe which might be what's causing your blisters.

Another thing to look at is your socks make sure they are good ones because I know what you're talking about when it comes to blisters I had to buy new shoes and new sock to stop the blisters.

Get some cotton blend socks, I even have a pair with teflon in them to help with friction and the synthetic blend help wick moisture away. Any good running store will carry them (The running Room). Makes a huge difference. Good shoes are important as well- again a store that specializes in running can be a great help as they assess your running style. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
