Love the committment - that rocks!!!!<br /><br />Go to your local running store and have them fit you for shoes ASAP!!! You can't go wrong - they watch you walk, check our what you've been running in, make you run, etc. If they don't - leave! And then, once you're in the right shoes and socks, they'll even take them back if they aren't perfect after a few runs. Seriously. Go do it. <br /><br />You've committed to run 26.2 amazing miles - suck it up and get the right shoes - it's worth all of the pennies - trust me!! AWESOME!!! Love the committment – that rocks!!!!

Sure, you'd have to beg money for a good cause, which can be time consuming, but the race experience would be free. Oh, and you'd get discounts on all of your running equipment.

I can be prone to blisters as well. Not fun! I am so excited to hear that you are doing the Disney races in January. I am too! You will have a blast, it is a lot of fun.

I just bought the same model (or whatever the appropriate word would be) of an old beloved pair of Asics and I'm now having shin twinges that I'm praying won't develop into splints. I can't justify buying another pair until I have Christmas money to spend on them. Be careful about waiting too long before buying new shoes if you want the same model.

I always know it's time for new shoes when I get back from a run and my feet hurt. If you're going to run that far, you must by comfy! <br /><br />I always used to be a bit of a snob about the special running socks. I mean how good could they really be? But I got a pair in my stocking one year and never looked back. Now I can't believe I ever ran in cotton socks! Good shoes are an absolute must.

I wish I had two pair as much as I work out!!! My feet do not "fit well" due to flat, wide & bunions & every time I buy shoes, the previous pair are not working anymore so I do need to try them on each & every time.<br /><br />BUT, shoes are worth it to keep from injury especially with what you are doing!

Also, Gold Bond aerosol foot spray -- I use it every time I run, it coats your foot with a thin layer of powder-- I never get blisters now.<br /><br />Can I ask what shoes you bought? I need a new pair too -- my favorite brand just changed my model and the effects were disasterous! Ditto on the SOCKS being key to blister free life.
