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.

Sock update

I'm going to be nice and not include a photo with this one.
The 14.00 socks did the best they could. I had also discovered the power of duct tape as a second skin. Neither of these was enough to protect my already traumatised toes for 26.2 miles. Until two days ago I was pretty sure one of my toes was going to fall off.
I'm kidding. A little.
I'm not sure why distance running gives some people blisters under their toenails, but I am sure that I don't know how to stop it. You can bet that it's super interesting researching it though!
I'm kidding. A lot.
Now I head into pretty painted toenail season with at least one less toenail. I'm not sure how long it will take to come back. Someone suggested modifying a "Lee Press on Nail" for my toes.
They were kidding. I'm considering it.
