Help, blister, what to do

I went running today, two weeks out from my marathon. I’m doing the tapering and with getting my stuff ready I was less focused than usual and forgot my running shoes. Instead of skipping the run I did it anyway because I already had to skip two runs this week and it was a long but super easy run. Figured it would be fine. It wasn’t and I have a giant blister on my big toe and two small ones between my toes.

What now? Do I stop running until they are gone? Do I prick them open hoping they heal faster? Do I run but with blister plasters on them? I really don’t wanna fuck up even more than I already did.

Some progress in my 5K. Hopefully inspirational.

Just to show some progress. I guess with almost a year of running and a whole lot of dedication I can’t really call myself a beginner anymore. But here is my actual first 5k race (and an “easy” 5k that felt like I was dying back then) and one I did last week where I PB’d (without feeling I died or even fully emptied the tank).
