Godsends! It takes me back to my ballerina days, in fact. (which IronMary pointed out in a comment). I forget that you were a ballerina for a long time too, Mary.
The photo of Texas (which is the name I've given my blister) was taken AFTER having been drained, so even then it was on the mend. Lucky for me I can doctor it enough to continue running. First it gets a good coating of liquid bandage. Then I cover it in a piece of paper towel, cover that with a big piece of moleskin, and then cover THAT with tape wrapped completely around my foot a few times. It works well, though I found my toes to be quite purple yesterday after my run when I removed my sock. I'll have to be more careful about taping too tightly. It's been a while since I've had to tape my feet and I'm rusty.
I could easily say that the reason I continue is that I'm disciplined (see above regarding my prior life as a ballerina). If I were to be more honest with myself, however, I might have to admit - perhaps grudgingly - that I've become quite addicted to running.
And isn't the first step toward recovery admitting that there is an addiction issue?
Ok, so I'm not interested in recovery. This running addiction IS my recovery!
With each step I'm getting closer. Closer to fine.

Something you should consider using instead of Liquid Bandage is a KytoStat bandage.It is as easy to use as a regular bandage, and all you have to do is apply it to the wound with pressure. The bandage stops the bleeding immediately. You can find more information at www.kytostat.com
