Ultimately I got wider shoes, taped the problem areas and wore two pairs of socks with corn starch to absorb moisture. Hard to say what might work for the next person though, I think it takes a lot of experimenting.

You might try going to a running store and ask the people there what they recommend you do. @Rachael – Sorry, you listed every tip I was going to give you!

Hope you meet your goal! What do you do about blisters? I started training to walk a 1/2 marathon at the beginning of the year, but stopped because I kept getting horrible blisters at the 6 mile mark. I had expensive socks, tried several different shoes, a variety of bandages and ointments... still blisters. Done! Hope you meet your goal!

I'd love to sponser your run. Would it be ok if I sent a check payable to you? Everytime I make a donation to charity I end up getting TONS of mail requesting more donations and feel guilty when I don't have more to give. I wouldn't be opposed to funding the post run festivities either ;) Hey PQ:

As you may or may not remember (I don't write comments here that often) I had brain surgery a year ago because I had headaches, etc. I am not going to suggest any diagnosis or any technique that might help to find out the reason of your headache because I am pretty sure they've tested pretty much everything. I have found a forum which I find quite useful for anyone who suffers from chronic or acute pain (I am still in contact with people that need the same surgery as I got but are waiting and are still in pain. Some use the forum I mention, which is intended for people "in pain" from different conditions -diagnosed or not-, they post and find support). The address is below. <a href="http://www.inspire.com/groups/pain-and-pain-management/" rel="nofollow">http://www.inspire.com/groups/pain-and-pain-management/</a> Just in case it helps, may be... Hi!
