Ah, the humble sock. How I do love thee.
Today, I went to the gym to run a few slow miles in my new sneakers. The plan was to run 2 -3 on the TM, and then meet up with a friend to chat on the elliptical. While still at the office, I had taken my normal (old) gym sneakers out of my bag, and replaced them with my new sneakers. I should note here that I generally stuff my socks into my sneakers for safekeeping.
As I made the switch, I looked at my WrightSock socks - stuffed into my old sneakers - and debated taking them to the gym. Nah, I decided - let's stick with the Injinji (toe socks) that I'll be wearing for my races (which are shoved in my new shoes).
Up in the locker room, I pulled my (new) sneakers out of my bag, and lo and behold - I have only ONE sock. A left sock, to be precise. Of course, I have a newly healed blister on my RIGHT foot.
Dilemma - go back to the office (around the corner) for a full set of socks, or run sans sock?
What do you think I chose??
