I think they were too thick. I wanted some extra cushioning, but this was too much. I have a variety of socks to "test walk", next I think I'll try the TekoOriginally Posted by salsabike

Let us know.
Pretty cool you did six miles!"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

Go Snap! Go Snap!!!
My riding partner is doing the full w/TNT. (She had a baby and can't really take the time for the long rides just now, so she's doing the marathon. D'oH! Running hurts!!
She didn't believe me when I said no double century hurts as much as a marathon. Now she does. 
) So, anyway, now I have at least TWO people to go cheer!! I remember all the crowds cheering made a big difference when I did it. Do you think there'll be anything you'll NEED out there that I could bring for you? (You may not know the answer til you get closer, but feel free to give me any orders.) I am vascillating between the moto and the bicycle, but the bicycle is probably going to be easier to maneuver in the crowds.

Socks
Hey TNT... here's a link to RUNNING SOCK REVIEW. It will give you a list to try out! The double layer Wright socks are really nice and still light. I still prefer my Balego's for any distance running or walking. But on the BC 3-Day, I take the Wright socks for the afternoon half, cuz my feet are swelling a bit by then, and the Wrights are thinner.
Try using Blister powder in your socks (ie, Blistershield)
Build up those calluses. DO NOT, under any circumstances, go and get a pedicure. They take those hard-earned calluses off and you get new blisters (does that sound like experience talking?)
GOOD LUCK. You'll do great!Last edited by jesvetmed; 08-24-2008 at 10:31 PM. Reason: I misread and thought you were WALKING.. I edited to read for running! OOOPS!
