Blister

Well, I managed to get a blister on my toe last night from Ballroom Dancing. My fault -- I was jumping around like a lunatic during the Jive!

But it does bring up an important skating-related issue. Blisters or sores developed from skating should be dealt with straight away; don't wait. I keep a box of bandaids in my skate bag ready to go at all times. Put the bandaid over the blister or sore area and clean and change it daily. If you need to skate on it, be mindful of any pain and stop if it's getting worse. Never just put your sore foot back into the boot without any protection!

Tonight my foot should be okay for skating as there's my usual Wednesday session on. I've got a bandaid on it now and it feels okay. Fingers crossed!
