Thank you guys.  The thing that is strange is where the one blister is located, it's directly below my anke bone and it's almost like my shoes are rubbing on a nerve that is all of the sudden more prominent there.  It may be just due to the greater mileage without socks.  Who knows...As for the blood blister, I got that walking up my stairs in a pair of dressy, open-toed clogs and just plain being clumsy, so I'm not too worried.  The pain went away within the first few minutes of running on it today and it already feels better now that it has been drained.  Thankfully, I'm usually one of the few people that rarely gets blisters, I can wear almost any pair of shoes and be fine, and my clothes never chaffe.  I'm sure this too will resolve quickly.

Jay, have you ever tried a foam roller?  I wouldn't be surprised if you have some restriction up higher, maybe in your hips or something that is affecting your stride, thereby bothering your calf...or even if it's just in your calf the foam roller thing would still help or a golf ball or a frozen can or something to help relieve some of that restriction.  Let us know what the doctor says.

My next race is on the 26th and I'm excited for it but I also have a race on the 9th and the 16th.  The race on the 16th is what I would consider my #1 priority for this summer and hopefully I will peak at the right time for it.  So far, so good.  I'm going for a bit of a cram session for distance and strength on my bike this week and then I should have a good few weeks available for bike speed.  And of course I'll throw in some long runs and some tempos for good measure!  I'm having fun and the planning is exciting.
