As I said to M. at that appointment, "I didn't feel a thing while I was running!"
His response was to slightly widen his eyes, smile slowly, and say, "That...is savage."
Laughing, I told him, "Hey, I'm hardcore."
"Yes, yes, you are!"
Fast forward to Sunday. I went on my run and felt just fine--it was a very good run, actually. I arrived home to find that--oh, gah--I have a fresh blister on my left heel. It's a recurring thing these days. I had bled through my sock onto the inside of my fancy running shoe. And I didn't feel a thing while I was running.

It's savage. It's hardcore. I am a rock star. I am a runner.

Woohoo! But a woohoo with caution: If you find it happening more often, Bodyglide may help on the back of the foot, but not the toe. And if it happens often, head to a running store and see if they have any ideas (it might be that particular shoe causes some irritation and you might need another or another size). This might be over reacting, and I apologize for that, but I don't want it to cause any issues for you!!
Thanks for the info! This pair of shoes are the "upgraded" version of the pair I've been using since 2010, and I've noticed they don't work quite as well as the older version did. I hope to buy new shoes soon, and I've been talking to M. the Reasonable about it, too. He's actually a big fan of the Vibrams, but I'm not ready for those yet!
