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. ...

Wine & Taxes

Friday night we went out with another couple that we have known for over a decade. The husband, B, has worked with my husband almost as long as my hubby has been with the company so naturally they end up talking a lot of shop. In an effort to steer the conversation, I told him about my recent good news (contest finalist) and after congratulating me he asked what I would get if I won. Bob and I laughed when we told him it was only $30, but I explained that counted as income which meant that I would be able to deduct expenses such as conference fees and printing out my manuscripts for beta readers. He then started to attempt to educate me on just how much I should claim to keep me within certain tax brackets. Seeing as I was on my second glass of wine, this was all going right over my head. My lovely husband finally cut him off and said "Let's just focus on the word income right now. We'll worry about the rest later." He's as excited as I am in his own way....
