When I bought my newest pair of shoes I had a series of blisters follow, all on my right foot, all in the same spot. I finally thought I had them taken care of, apparently I was wrong. During my long run
today, scheduled for 11 miles, the blisters came back. I felt them begin around mile 6, and as I moved through mile 6 and into 7 they were becoming un-bearable. My pace was beginning to reflect that as well. I ended up cutting my run short, only ran 7.91 miles in a total time of 1:22:29. My pace was very steady, until the blisters hit. I was averaging about 9:40/miles.
::Today's Mile Splits::
Mile 1 - 9:13
Mile 2 - 9:43
Mile 3 - 9:25
Mile 4 - 9:59
Mile 5 - 9:44
Mile 6 - 8:33
Mile 7 - 12:46
7.00-7.91 - 13:02
My pacing was very good on this run, now I need to work on the blister control again. The worst part is that I went about 30 miles without a blister, then all of a sudden I get a couple huge ones on the same run.

If you are getting blisters something isn't right. Are you wearing shoes that fit? Are you wearing socks that wick moisture? It is usually the equipment, but it can also be the terrain. You are more likely to get blisters running trails because of the type of running you have to do. Go to a specialty store when you're getting shoes and get some of the socks there as well.
