It’s cold and windy here this week, but today it finally warmed up to the high 20s, so I decided it was time to get back outside. I still haven’t gotten around to purchasing a warmer pair of running tights, so I’ve been wearing a pair of compression shorts under my old ones along with a heavy pair of Thorlo socks that come up to midcalf. This works reasonably well for keeping my legs warm, but today I needed to wear a pair of shoes that only fit thinner socks than the Thorlos. I was afraid that if I just wore my really thin, ankle high socks that I’d end up with really cold legs. I hate being cold.
My legs were warm for the entire run and they stayed up nicely and they cost a whole lot less than the Sugoi or Recovery socks that I plan to get one of these days.


Way to go MacGyver! 🙂
Funny, but I JUST saw the Zooma Denver 1/2 marathon last night in my running calendar perusals. May have to do it!
HA! What a great idea 🙂
Nice job macgyver! I may borrow that idea if it continues to hover around this 15 degree crap!
I love the creative compression socks! My grandma gives me knee highs all the time, I should try that.
Very smart idea!
Love the DIY compression socks!
You're sure innovative-very nice! Alaska sounds very exciting. I don't know much about races up there, but I look forward to reading about your experience!
Thats some good thinking. I would have just skipped my run because I didnt have the fancy equipment I needed 🙂
Awesome job on the socks. And getting tickets to Alaska. How exciting. I'm so jealous.
That's way smart.
