And I'll have run my first 5K.
I've started running in the great outdoors which is a bit of a challenge for me. I don't have any natural instincts when it comes to pacing myself so end up completely knackered.
I'm definitely improving though - I have a 4 km route that I'm mostly running. First itme round I must have walked at least 1.5 km... tonight I only walked 0.5 km. I'm having terrible trouble with blisters at the minute, my right foot is permanently sporting at least one. I'm starting to think it might be the shoes, as I've tried blister plasters, lubing up my foot with anti rub stick, tight laces, loose laces, special socks. Anyone got any better ideas?
I'm having a lot of strange dreams at the minute, probably brought on by the new car. I've dreamt about being carjacked 3 times in the past fortnight, once was very similar to what happened to me, once it was a bit surreal as I was rescued somehow and end up in a nightclub, once I manage to overpower the carjacker and tie him up with some zip ties I'd kept in my handbag.

You could give it a go with an extra thin pair of socks as a liner under a second pair of socks - the idea being that you then rub the skin and first sock against the second sock rather than the skin and sock against the shoe.
Saying that, this few days to go is maybe not the best time to be experimenting with new ideas, and you may be better served by just resting your feet so they are in their best shape for the big day - you seem happy enough with what you've done, and you're not going to suddenly get drastically fitter over those last days.
Good luck with that, and the dreaming!
