Gone shopping, gone crazy

Yesterday, when I bought my new shoes, I also bought new socks, those special tetrasocks witih five little slots for each toe.

Today I went for an 8-mile run, the longest run since the marathon. I thought about tacking on two more miles at the end of the run but my fingers were so cold I was ready to stop. And after all, I probably shouldn't increase mileage too soon. But, it was fun to have the new socks on if for nothing else but the novelty of it.
