    @MegaMooseEsq I usually wear Under Amour moisture wicking socks and so far no blisters.

    These and the Nike equivalent (Dry Fit I think) are what I ware in the summers. Very happy with them. Darn Tough wool socks in the cold weather.

    Are these the kind you're talking about? I like the price but I'm suspicious because of the price. So many options! I definitely appreciate all the suggestions - I actually have two pairs of Wrightsocks I got on sale from REI but I've only worn them a couple of times, and seeing as I'd never had problems with my socks before today, have been dragging my feet about switching over for good. Lesson learned!

    Maybe. :) UA has a ton of different labels that I am convinced in the end the same product :) These is the exact ones I wear though: https://amzn.to/2MB046Z

    The ones you linked looked like they are also good.

    I’ve definitely been feeling overwhelmed by the various labels from each manufacturer. One of the ones I looked at had certain socks marked as “last season”?!? Too much for me. I think I’ll grab a pack of those UAs for my shorter runs, wear the Wrightsocks for long runs, and maybe watch REI for sales. They been picking up cat hair like mofos but so it goes. Thanks again for the help!

    Hooray, the forums are working again!

    Today I had an ugly 3.5 mile... something on the treadmill this morning. I'd call it a run but meh, the pace was so bad I may as well have been walking real fast. My energy levels are never very good in the early morning. My previous run was in the afternoon and the pace was much better.

    I don't know why I'm so obsessed with pace. Probably because I want to get back to where I was before. I think I need to take the advice of whoever suggested deleting my old Garmin and Strava data and starting over.

    Maybe start over with new usernames? That way, you can go back to the old data if you want, but aren't constantly comparing yourself to it.

    It has been so hot and humid (94% humidity) that I actually got irrationally angry at Mother Nature at mile 6 this morning. LOL. I was seriously pissed. It was so humid I felt like I couldn’t breath. It keeps threatening to rain and then the clouds blow over - for 4 days now. It’s turning the air into a sauna.

    I did discover that a park near my house has COLD water that comes out of the water fountain. Totally amazing at mile 8. I was already drenched from super-sweating so I just dumped a water bottle full on my head. I made all the kids in the park jealous. Their parents wouldn’t let them “play”
    In the water fountain. LOL

    I no longer envy you treadmill runners and I will probably never step foot on one again. Not being able to “freely” change my pace is not fun. Lol. I was doing my warmup when my towel fell on the treadmill, totally messed up my balance and I went down and jacked myself up so horribly. Thank sweet Jesus I have a sense of humor, I just laughed at myself, and kept going. I think I’ll stick to running outside cuz even with the elliptical you still can’t “freely” change pace. Now I will baby myself for a couple of days cuz that s**t hurt. I played basketball and did MMA in college and have been hurt a lot worse but holy crap am I in pain. Treadmill skinned me alive. Lol

    Ouch.

    @amymoreorless cold water is an amazing find
    @polskagirl01 cool track you found there. Our school tracks in the area are basically if it’s unlocked you can use it outside of school hours. Ours is locked right now but if I walk around behind the baseball fields I don’t have to jump the fence lol.

    I'm guessing it's similar here, this happened to be during school hours though. Summer break starts after closing ceremonies on Friday, YAY!!!
