One blister away from my first double-digit run of the year! Felt side of left arc getting raw around the last mile. Ended up taking my shoe off after finishing the MKT and found a blister, so decided not to risk irritating it further and walked the rest of the way home. Have decided to wear only socks designed for running in order to decrease risk of blisters, at least until I purchase a new pair of running shoes.
