My Favorite Running Socks

By Jolene from Seattle, WA on 1/7/2012

 

5out of 5

Sizing: Feels true to size

Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Stylish, Dries Quickly

Best Uses: Warm Weather, Competition, Running, Gym, Cycling

Describe Yourself: Avid Athlete

Was this a gift?: No

I always have issues with shoes rubbing the back of my feet. I love thiese socks because they are a shorter cut but the tab on the back keeps them right where they are supposed to be and protect my feet from nasty blisters. I wear them whenever I am running. I own a couple pairs in every color available yet and they have been through the wash countless times but are still in great shape, a testament to the Lucy quality. Use caution when wearing in the cold though. I ran a race in below freezing weather with these socks and ventilated shoes and my toes froze. The next year I bought the Lucy wool athletic socks and got to tease my brother when he complained about his cold toes.

NaNoWriMo

I have found myself home with no errands to run, the house is somewhat clean, and I still have almost two hours before I pick up the kids so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to post something.  Yay me!! My last post was about National November Writing Month, fondly known as NaNoWriMo.  It is an opportunity to sit down and write like a crazy person.  You have the entire month of November, thirty days, to write 50,000 words.  By the end of it you have either a rough draft of a novel, or at least the start of one.  And it's not only 'writers' who participate.  Perhaps you have a story in you that you just wanted to get out on paper, see where it takes you. I first participated in 2010 where after coming down with a cold followed by strep throat and then an extended trip to Portland for Thanksgiving, I managed to get just over 32,000 words.  While I was disappointed to have not made it across the finish line, I was excited that I had hammered...

A Blogger I Am Not

I have a confession... I'm not a very good blogger. I realize you are probably gasping with shock right now. Wait, that would require me to have followers for anyone to be shocked. And why don't I have any followers? Because I'm not a very good blogger. It's not even that I don't like to blog. I feel like I have a lot to say and would love to share my thoughts with anyone who is foolish enough, I mean willing to listen. The problem is that my brilliant ideas always come to me at the most inconvenient moments such as while I'm driving or out running. By the time I get access to a device, I'm too lazy to revisit my idea. Although perhaps that is a sign that it wasn't so bright after all. But being the Golden Social Age that it is, blogging is an excellent way to connect with people and build an audience for my yet to be published works. That and Twitter. Which I am also not really on top of. Obviously I need to be approaching this as a job. ...

My first GSRWA Meeting

First of all, I would like to start by saying that I am going to make (yet another) effort to keep up with this blog.  And I'm even going to share it with people!  I really need to get the word out that I have a blog, but before I do that, I need a couple more decent posts for people to read.  Including this tale about my first Greater Seattle Romance Writers' of America (GSRWA) meeting. Last year I joined Eastside RWA and just recently decided to join GSRWA as well to take advantage of their awesome resources.  This Saturday was my first opportunity to attend a meeting as well as the last meeting before the summer break.  I wasn't too excited about driving all the way up to Shoreline on a Saturday morning, but I really wanted to make an appearance soon while my name was fresh in their minds from the welcome messages. My goal was to leave by nine-thirty giving me an hour to get to the library.  Plenty of time.  Except that I took too long getting r...
