4 kids, various pets. I like to run, hike, ski, random road trips, take tons of pictures with my Nikon D40 in hopes that a couple turn out, and any new activity with calculated risks. I'm in school and at some point plan on having a medical based major. I love music.

I'm a runner?

From the information I've gathered from my Runners World Magazine, I have realized I'm not a hardcore runner. Some might even call me (gasp) a jogger.
The magazine has tips every month on speed training, to shave seconds off your races; how to add hex screws to the bottom of your shoes so you can run in snow and ice; and many inspirational articles about the athletes out there who run 100 mile super marathons and 2 day long triathlons.
I saw an add in the magazine for these socks-



-I know they are ugly, and on top of that, they are 14.00 a pair. I'm pretty desperate. I get lovely blisters on the ends of my middle toes when I do long runs. I think these socks will help. I have the Eugene Marathon in one month so I guess I'll soon find out. If they don't work out I have some super cool socks that can be worn with flip flops.
