I got my earliest start since campo this morning. I wanted to get going because I wanted to try and catch up to pacer and Sam (now "doublecheck"). I was hoping with two neros in big bear that my feet would be 100 percent, but it wasn't the case. They felt just as bad as they did before getting to big bear. I was incredibly frustrated because my blisters were starting become more than just an annoyance. I found myself staring down at the feet not appreciating the scenery because I had to watch my foot placement. After eating lunch, I put my shoes back on and my feet already hurt even though i hadn't stood up yet. I decided enough was enough so I took out the insoles from my shoes. [Side note: I experienced some arch pain three days into my hike near mt Laguna. I panicked and bought new insoles from the outfitter there. In reality I propably just just had my laces tied too tight. The insoles felt great for a day, but I got my blister shortly there after. Over the next two weeks more blisters gradually kept forming. They were deep under my calluses. I drained them every night, taped them up every morning, and changed my socks every time I stopped hiking. I thought my feet just had to adjust to the I soles was all. But blister kept forming under the previous blister. At one point I had 3 blister layered on top of eachother. Lesson learned, don't make drastic changes to your foot wear without testing them first. ] After taming iut the insoles my feet felt alot better. However I could feel every rock I stepped on under my tender feet. After a few miles my feet started feeling much better. I got into a groove and actually ended up doing 24 miles that day. I camped with 5 others hikers near a stream. I soaked my achy feet in the cold stream. After examining my feet felt like I could manage my blisters now. I guess those insoles were just too thick for my shoes. Day 21- 24 miles
