Blisters – by Matt’s Feet
by Matt’s Feet
Ouch, ouch, ouch! Oh why does he keep running when I have a blister? Ok, I know the answer to that one. He is running around the continent to raise awareness for the environment. How many times have I hit the pavement since he started this, millions! How many blisters? Even I don’t know.
First it was my my poor little toe. Just look at that! That can’t be good and boy does it hurt. Well at least I’m out in the air relaxing and not pounding pavement. But why do they keep taking pictures of me and why is he smiling, I’m in pain. Well, he’s always smiling. That big grin certainly has an effect on all the kids at the schools.
We’re back off. Got to get to Regina he says so 10 days worth of marathons in 7 days. I can’t believe he is running on my poor little toe. Ouch Ouch Ouch… He sure is dedicated to the environment to put me through this.
Wow! Have I ever got a blister. Now we are running across the US South West and boy is it hot. I keep getting sweaty hot and wet, Not good for me. Its perfect conditions for blisters. Every step grows the blister, every little bit of friction but he keeps on going. Can he still feel me down here? I wonder if we can make bio fuel out of the odor? And would anyone use if it smelled like this? I’m sure glad the nose is way up there.
Why are they videoing me? Oh No! He’s peeling part of the blister away. Aah Aah Aaaah I’m sure his mother told him not to pick at stuff. Its dead skin but its there to protect the new skin forming underneath and helps keep infection out. Well the new skin is mostly formed so ok but the dead stuff is attached around the edge to good skin and that does hurt.
“I could totally pull that off” Says Matt looking at the main part of the huge blister.
“ Nooooo!!!”
“but it would hurt”
“Phew!”
He says we are not running today as I breath a sign of relief. I’ll get a day to toughen up that skin before he torture tests it with a marathon.
Seven more weeks and we finish this run around the continent. Maybe he will take a break and let me heal then. Probably not, to many people to see and spread the message to.
More gruesome imagery.
OUCH, OUCH AND OUCH AGAIN – YES HIS MUMMY DID TELL HIM NOT TO PICK AT BLISTERS!!!!!!!!! AND HIS AUNT TOO
CARRY ON
