No Socks!

This guy that I ordered my running shoes from told me he never runs with socks...so today I ran the end of our run without socks in yet another attempt to get this blister under control.   Freedom!!  I don't know if my foot will be any better because of it - but it was like breaking some kind of unwritten rule!  While we were running we thought of some new uses for my socks - which may have to find a new job :)

1. mittens (Tasha's favorite use)
2. ear warmers
3. if your running partner is talking too much, you can literally tell them to stuff a sock in it!
4. breast augmentation (I'm gonna need more than one pair)
5. butt augmentation ??
6. sweat mop
7. surrender flag - you never know when a run may kick your butt
8. new purse- could hold all of the treasures my kids find me when we're out hiking
9. reusable doggie clean up - OK OK that's enough!

I did try some of these new uses out today, but it really should've been done BEFORE I ran 9 miles.

So next time you see someone out running and they have socks hanging off their ears - you'll know they totally stole our idea.  But before you run them off the road, trying to defend our creativity, remember we need them.  That could be our one and only fan!

P.S. I did have one of Target's up and up brand blister care cushions over my blister -and I like it the best so far of all the remedies.  I like it better than the moleskin and better than the Dr Scholl's.

P.P.S Don't go near my shoes, it's for your own good.
