The 14 Mile Run


I finally got over that brick wall that was holding me back.  Yesterday I completed my 14 mile run.  It was officially the longest I've ever run!  Previously 12 miles, but here on out the mileage really climbs.  Before the race I'll actually run for 20 miles.  The blue line below shows a rough outline of where I ran.  It's so close to the ocean that you can feel legit ocean breezes.  It's times like that when I think-yep, New Zealand is a great place to train for a marathon.
I have one complaint to make about my run... Why do I always get blisters?  I'm plagued by them I think.  How do you not get blisters?
