Patagonia Capilene Midweight Travel Crew Socks
Capilene Midweight Travel Crew Socks are perfect not just for travel but hiking, casual wear, and anytime you desire a sock that will keep your feet dry and comfortable over long distances. The Midweight Travel Crew is made from a blend of organic cotton, nylon, polyester, and spandex, offering Patagonia’s Capilene performance—namely, excellent moisture management. Plaited construction increases airflow and allows the sock dry quickly. A rib-cuff design does not restrict, and prevents socks from sloughing into boots.

Keep Them High
These are a great socks. I have used them for hicking and backpacking. The best thing about these socks, they don't slip down to your ankles after you have hicked for miles.

Training Tips
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
