MFer - broken blister a week before marathon
I had a hot spot during/after my long run on Saturday that turned into a blister right on my arch, and I knew that I should have bailed on a 3-mile March of Dimes walk yesterday, but I felt bad standing up my close friend, since we were walking in honor of her son. Of course the damn thing popped and the skin broke off, and it hurts like a mother.
Tell me it will be ok to run on by Sunday. I'm really freaking out right now, seriously having a panic attack and kicking myself for doing the stupid walk yesterday. (and yes, I know in the grand scheme of things this is nothing to get worked up over, and I'm being a baby about it)

You can also use Dr. Scholl's Moleskin to cushion it.I swear by the stuff. You can find it in any drug store with the foot care products.

Thanks, I'm already googling all of the suggestions! Of course, the engineer husband has already declared NewSkin and duct tape to be the ultimate solution....
I hate that I let these things get to my head. I'm really bad during the taper period, I've already got a collection of phantom injuries. Last week it was a broken ankle, the week before that I was convinced of a stress fracture.

Ditto.
Keep the area clean and covered when you're in situations where you need to wear shoes. Otherwise, let it dry out as soon as you can. The faster it dries, the better (and tougher) the new skin will be around and on top of the area. You'll be fine this weekend!
My bony heels get blisters with every new pair of shoes. I love those band aid brand blister pads. You keep it on until it falls off, I think. It'll heal your food in no time!
Relax!!!!
relax. everything is going to be OK.
put a band-aid on it. I like the blister healing kind. they are cushiony. also waterproof. 2-3 days and you'll be good as new.
get the name brand. now is not the time to be cheaping out with generics.
Don't do NewSkin if the skin is broken! My mom made me do that once in high school. She put it over the raw skin and I was in tears because it stung so bad.

Tritto. I haven't used it on blisters, but 1 week before my first marathon my shoes randomly decided to dig a big gash into my ankle. I didnt notice it until after the run when I saw blood all over my shoe. Moleskin helped keep the scab covered and protected during the race. GL!
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!
