    More socks!

    For weeks I've been using the same pair of running socks.



    When I started running, I just wore my bicycling socks, but my feet seemed to slide around and the socks seemed to bunch up near my toes. So I bought these to try out in my first round of buying tri stuff. These worked great and only having one pair was fine, since I was only running every other day.

    But now that I'm on break and upping the ante... one pair wasn't going to cut it. I put in my order to TE on Sunday and my new socks are here today. I know it helps not being too far away, but still, I'm happy.

    Oh... and yesterday I wrote about having a tri drawer. It's a small lingerie drawer. I also have a sock drawer - it's a big drawer. I think I have a sock fetish.

    Can you ever have enough????

    They are taking over the undies on the left side of the drawer -- it's about 1/8 undies, 1/5 sport bras -- the rest all socks. And this is a 4' long drawer! When I find what works, I buy a bunch! Love the ones you just bought, by the way! I also LOVE Balega socks for running.

    I use those smart wool socks you show as my casual lounge around socks.

    For running (well, whatever, I don't "run", but for that stupid marathon I did in 2006) and for cycling, I use these:



    I also just got these (in green - DUH) and they are delicious for cold days:




    Oh - and these are great for hiking:




    I love socks.

    I'd been looking at the polka dot ones...

    But seriously, I have an overstuffed drawer full of socks.

    They're wonderful. I love them. so cozy - super soft. Almost like cashmere.

    ETA: The ones you are using are sort of a gateway sock.
