You can tell by the wrinkles. I got wrinkles on my face. I got wrinkles on my belly. I got wrinkles on my arms and my legs. And although I haven't specifically checked I'm pretty sure I got wrinkles on my ass! Oh and I also got wrinkles on my balls, but they've been there since the first time I checked.
The one place I never thought I would get wrinkles is on the bottom of my feet. Not just creases but actual wrinkles where the skin folds up. I first figured it out late last year when I was on a road trip somewhere. It seemed like every pair of socks I brought had some kind of problem. After days of taking my shoes off and trying to stretch out my socks, it finally came to me to have a look at the bottom of my feet. And lo and behold! Wrinkles!
I generally only have the problem on my right foot and if I keep up the maintenance it's not too disconcerting. The good thing is that the sensation of wrinkled socks seems to go away when I run. It is however a good excuse to buy new socks, and yesterday I discovered what I now declare to be the worlds best socks. Never have I put on a pair that immediately felt as immaculate as these. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.
The two pair still in the wrapper are now my official Ironman socks. Black for cycling and white for running. I was gonna comment that even the small ticket items can make me happy, but at 16 bucks a piece they may not qualify. Oh well. You only live once, and it should be with nice socks eh?
It was kind of a fragmented training day. Weights in the morning at the gym. Then a swim in lake Erie in the early afternoon, followed by a power nap. Just before supper I went out for a quick and easy, bike and run.
(weights, swim 1600 metres, bike 24 kms, run 2 kms)
...and I laughed when I seen this one....

Nice, new and good feeling socks are one of the best little pleasures! If I could afford it, I'd buy 365 pairs of socks for each day of the year!
