Running & Socks

Anyone's who has been reading this blog (or any knitting blog for that matter) knows that this month is Socktoberfest. But not every knitter writes about running... so I had to figure out a way to combine them. I was thinking about today's post and I kept repeating over in my head: running... socks... running... socks....

Well, duh! I should write about running socks! I love this picture* because it reminds me of exactly what my dog loves to do: run away with my socks.  But when I think of running socks, I think of my cushy Thorlo moisture-wicking socks that I save for my long runs. We runners don't use a lot of fancy equipment for our sport, but keeping our feet in good shape is very important. I may still be wearing the same ratty running shorts from high school track, but I never skimp on good shoes and socks. Good socks really do make the difference in preventing blisters and black toenails when I'm running high-mileage days.

*  PS.  The dog is adorable but not mine.  I'm a dachshund girl!

I slacked on my running this week, but I've got a 9-miler planned tomorrow, so that should whip me back into shape. I wish it wasn't so dark in the mornings, it makes it really hard for me to get out of bed! (Yet I'm always more tired when I sleep in than when I get up and run, go figure.)

Have fun at Rhinebeck, everyone! Good luck at Blogger Bingo and all the other crazy stuff you have planned.
