OK - a foot question.

[toomanybikes]

The kids wanted to go skating the other day - fine except that I was in new skates and the kids really wanted to skate.

End result - i now have blisters on the insides of both foot arches - OW!

Two questions:

Any thoughts for taking the sting out of those blisters, and 2) any thoughts for breaking them skates in faster??

If you stick a pin about 10mm away from the blister perimeter and push it under the skin into the blister you can let the blister down. This will stop the blister from bursting and will hasten healing.
