Dahlgren Light Hiking LV Socks
Dahlgren Light Hiking LV Socks feature all the benefits of a technical hiking sock with a thinner profile that's ideal for a close fitting shoe or boot. Dahlgren uses a ClimateKnit System to create the perfect climate inside your shoe or boot. Two different yarns – one natural, one Wickspun with MicroSupreme – work together to absorb moisture and transfer it away from your skin. Separate zones with separate functions equals one result: Dry, comfy feet. Backcountry.com sells only the high version for max coverage.

Great hiking socks
I work in Iraq and am on my feet a lot and walk long distances. It is already quite hot here and these socks are just bulky enough to fit well in boots but wick well and are cool and very comfortable. I highly recommend them.
My New Favorite Sock!!
These socks are awesome. I own Bridgedale, Smartwool, several different Patagonia Capilene socks, and I thought I'd give these a try because they were on sale. These socks are the most comfortable pair I own, hands down. Great for day hikes or casual wear.
Light Hiking LV Socks
These socks are extremely comfortable and versatile, very good for moderate hikes and also for casual wear. The alpaca adds unusual softness at the toes and heels while retaining good breathability. The socks don't get wet with sweat after long hikes either. The only negative, a slight one at that, is a hint of chafing when using shoes with hard insoles. Otherwise, this is an all-around darn-good sock!

Training Tips
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
